Daily Tech News 3 April 2026
Top Story
- houston@nasa.gov, we have a problem. (Tom's Hardware)
The crew of the Artemis II mission - basically retreading the path of Apollo 10, 97 years ago - ran into an issue that didn't happen last time: The spacecraft's computer has two instances of Microsoft Outlook running, and neither one works.
At least that's better than unidentified floating poop (though we may yet come to that) or a Main B Bus Undervolt.
- Speaking of things not working those new LG-made 1Hz laptop display panels have been put to the test and they don't. Don't not work, that is. They work exceptionally well. (Tom's Hardware)
These displays are designed to automatically lower the refresh rate to as little as 1Hz (from a maximum of 120Hz) when the user is looking at a static screen, since the constant refresh cycle is a major power draw.
Tested in Dell's latest XPS 14 model (which I think is the first laptop shipping with these panels) a battery life test simulating simple web browsing with the screen brightness set to 150 nits saw the laptop lasting 43 hours. That's three times longer than Apple's M5 MacBook Air running with the same settings.
Apple's CPUs are more power-efficient than Intel's so heaver workloads handed the win to the Air, but the new display panel certainly proved itself.
Tech News
- OpenAI has acquired "popular" tech podcast TBPN, which I have never heard of and as far as I can tell nobody else has either. (CNBC)
Gotta burn through that latest $122 billion somehow, and buying a fawning press is one way.
And yes, Sam Altman has appeared multiple times on the show. I checked and the comments were... Not generous.
- A group pushing for age verification legislation to be forced upon AI turns out to be funded by... OpenAI. (Gizmodo)
Regulatory capture is back, baby!
- How Microsoft vaporised a trillion dollars. (Substack)
A six part article by a former Azure team member recounting the remarkable levels of dysfunction within that organisation.
It's amazing anything works at all.
- Everyone's not doing it: Delve, the compliance startup embroiled in endless allegations of not actually doing what they claim to do, is embroiled in further allegations of... Not actually doing what they claimed to do but related to something different this time. (Tech Crunch)
At question here was Delve's software offering Pathways which looked remarkably like open-source solution SimStudio with the numbers filed off. Delve disputed the allegations... And then scrubbed all mention of Pathways from its website.
- If you weren't planning to buy an iPhone, congratulations, now you are. (WCCFTech)
Apple is reportedly buying all the RAM available at inflated prices to force its competitors out of the market.
Samsung's mobile division tried to sign a long-term supply contract with Samsung's memory division last year - and was rebuffed in favour of putting the screws to Apple. A move that reportedly succeeded splendidly... For Samsung's memory division, which is now getting paid twice as much per gigabyte. Not for the rest of us.
- A look at Maxsun's Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo. (WCCFTech)
Intel's Arc Pro B60 is a professional-level graphics card using the same chip as the company's B580 consumer card, but with twice the memory - 24GB rather than 12GB.
Maxsun's iteration of this puts two B60s on a single card, and it acts... Exactly like two B60s. Exactly like two B60s, because the B60 only uses 8 lanes of PCIe 5.0 (not really a constraint given its healthy allotment of RAM), and this card requires your motherboard to set that slot in x8/x8 bifurcation mode so that the two units on the card are addressed independently.
(If you have something else sharing bandwidth on that slot so that it's already in x8 mode, only half of this card will work.)
Not sure exactly how it performs - the reviewer ran multiple benchmarks but doesn't provide direct comparisons to anything else. But for gaming, it performs exactly like a B580, because games only see one of the two GPUs on the card.

That is comedy gold right there. I always forget there were actually two floating turds. They noticed one, then a while later, another one popped up. Cernan said....well I won't spoil it. It's comedy gold.

The Apollo solid waste collection system consisted of a plastic bag you taped to your butt.
And yes, there were some diarrhea incidents with the Apollo missions as well. And it went just about like you might expect. They didn't talk about that too much at the time, but it happened. And yes, it went everywhere.

Absolutely, if you’re old enough, or have worked basically anywhere, you’ve watched company decisions go south from ignoring the actual problem. I could give at least 3 dozen examples, but you don’t need my old stories. NYC is one of the greatest topical lessons about to be learned in the history of ignoring problems.

You taught us, Lord, that the greatest love a man can show is to lay down his life for his friends. But your love was greater still, because you laid down your life for your enemies. It was while we were still enemies that you reconciled us to yourself by your death.What other love has ever been , or ever could be , like yours? You died at the hand of sinners for the sake of the sinful. You became a slave to tyrants, to set the oppressed free.

No, she's not a lefty, thank God. She doesn't know the woman, but somehow the talk title caught her attention. She looks at it as a break in the monotony -- remember, she doesn't work and hardly ever has. And it's a free luncheon as well.
I agreed to this because she originally wanted to go to a $75/person buffet at a downtown restaurant. When I said no, she brought this up, knowing no doubt I'd feel I should give way somewhere. Again, it's free, and will be only about an hour long, so I'll grit my teeth.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - April 2, 2026 [Doof]

AI is asshoe Grandmother Wrongfully Jailed for Nearly Six Months After AI Facial Recognition Error
On July 14 of last year, Angela Lipps was at her Tennessee home babysitting four children when armed police officers came and took her away at gunpoint. She was later booked as a fugitive in relation to a bank fraud investigation in North Dakota, over 1,000 miles away. The only problem was that Lipps had never been to North Dakota. The grandmother of five told investigators that she had lived most of her life in north-central Tennessee and had never even been on a plane. Unfortunately, police in Fargo, North Dakota, had obtained a signed warrant for her arrest on multiple charges, including felony theft and felony unauthorised use of personal identifying information. Angela Lipps later learned that she had been identified as a suspect in an organised bank fraud case. Investigators reviewing cases in April and May 2025, in which a woman used a fake US Army military ID to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars from banks, used facial recognition software on surveillance camera footage and identified the Tennessee grandmother as the main suspect. *** After spending over three months in a Tennessee jail, at the end of October 2025, Angela Lipps was put on a plane and flown to North Dakota, where she was once again jailed simply because an AI recognition software decided her facial features, body type and hairstyle matched those of a crime suspect.Video segment at the link. Putting more automated stuff to use by government entities sure is a great idea, huh? ----- Even Bluesky looneys think AI is asshoe! Bluesky Users Respond With Overwhelming Disgust to Platform’s New AI
In its early days, Twitter alternative Bluesky tried to paint itself as a safe haven from the onslaught of AI, promising in November 2024 that it had “no intention” of scraping user-generated posts to train AI models. It was a shot across the bow, clearly aimed at its rival X-formerly-Twitter, which had recently changed its terms of service to allow just that. And since then, backlash to AI slop and relentless AI integrations has grown to new heights. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Bluesky’s abrupt foray into AI isn’t sitting well with its notoriously anti-AI user base. *** “You control it, you shape it, without having to write code or know how to set up these feeds,” Schneider enthused. The CEO seemed well aware of the headwinds against launching consumer-facing AI products in 2026. *** Graber appeared to be aware of the inflood of hatred for the idea. When a user told her that “we don’t want it,” she replied with a curt: “then don’t use it — it’s a separate app.” Graber also reshared a post by a different user who claimed people “on the left” were being “shortsighted” by being willfully blind about AI, and that the argument “‘hope it goes away’ doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.” The implication: Bluesky users are wrong about their resentment over AI and should instead embrace it.Left on left drama and fighting is always a good thing! ----- OK, maybe AI is not totally asshoe Ancient Roman board game stumped experts for decades – until AI played
A slab of limestone excavated in 1984 from the ancient Coriovallum settlement in the Netherlands presented a puzzle for researchers of Roman history. Because of its distinct grooves and marks, the stone piece was believed to be some kind of board game – but obviously no rulebook was dug up to confirm this. Now, more than 40 years on, new technology appears to have solved the mystery. An international team of researchers led by Maastricht University in the Netherlands, along with Leiden University, Australia's Flinders University, the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium and The Roman Museum and restoration studio Restaura in Heerlen, have used 3D scans and AI to unravel the rules of this mysterious game that no human has been able to figure out. The oval-shaped stone, roughly 8.3 x 5.7 inches (21 x 14.5 cm) in diameter and marked on one side with distinct intersecting lines, had all the hallmarks of a game played in ancient times. As the researchers note in their paper, people around the world have played games since at least the Bronze Age (around 3000 BCE). A lot haven't survived due to materials used, but the Coriovallum limestone had withstood the test of time. *** They programmed two AI bots to play a digital version of the limestone-etched board, with more than 100 different sets of rules from other games throughout history we know of. The AI players had 1,000 goes at each of these other games, and then a pattern emerged. Nine "rules" the other games had were consistent with this mysterious one.Using AI to come up with new rules to a game might actually be fun. Got any ideas??

To say that the car stunk was an understatement. To say that the stink lasted a long time was another understatement.

A HS buddy of mine is a OB/GYN. While preparing for an exam by him, one of his patients accidently grabbed, and used, her daughter glitter hair spray.
At the beginning of the exam, he noticed and asked "Feeling a bit festive today?"

My wife and I were driving to a pot luck in our new minivan. She had a crockpot full of baked beans on the floor between her feet. For whatever reason, she lost control of it, and the beans and bean juice soaked into the carpet. The smell never truly left that vehicle.

I had a lot of energy when expecting #2 during the elder son's naptime. I sewed winter jumpers for myself! I sewed Sesame St. puppets for his birthday! I made Polish pisanki eggs with a kit (that I still have after going cross country twice and suffering in a hot FL attic). I may make them again someday and order a kit. I wish I had that energy now.
This year our son, DIL and grands are going on a cruise, flying to Puerto Rico tomorrow. Favorite BIL and SIL are busy with her family. And we don't feel like dealing with the agnostic in-laws.
We are going to Mass and then a very fancy brunch at a French place we haven't been to in decades. Very lovely but rumored to be too costly for the food. We'll take our chances and the grounds will be beautiful at the base of a canyon.
We may have an egg hunt after Easter or on the 4th of July at this rate. I use fake eggs because after the first hunt grandson throws them from his jeep (or did, while wearing a lady's fascinator hat after I made a bunch for a tea shower). I have insane grandchildren.

The other one was tucked into the underside of antique dining room table-- it had pull-out leaves at either end and there was just enough space to hold an egg. The younger kids were still very little and curious about that table, so Mom figured they'd find it. Well... she forgot about it!

Hawaiians did the same - road on black lava, little white rock piles spaced along the route. Almost like white lines are used today on highways.
Kind of handy.
If you are off the 'road' and see a little pile of white rocks, go to a pile, look both ways, the road becomes obvious.

I have never been the same since a huge egg hunt at a park near my grandmother's. One of my cousins, a few years younger than me, ate all of the eggs she found (I think probably with some shells). I was grossed out as she had stuff all over her toddler face.
This was also the egg hunt where a girl I did not know loved a baby chick so much she accidently (I think) killed it.
Very traumatic all in all for me. I was about 6yrs old.

I've made shots like that before, but not for an eagle. It was probably for an 8, lol! I did make a hole in one a few years ago, but I never saw it go in. I lost site of the ball in the air. Lots of trees around and the sun light and shadows made it hard for me to see the ball. I knew it would hit the green but then I didn't see it on the green. Some guys, who were letting my play through saw it though. Best shot I ever made and I didn't even see it.

Note the report from the Tech news this morning, that the CEO of America's largest public hospital system says he's ready to replace radiologists with AI.
We turn over our systems, medical, legal, governmental, to the clankers, and we let them rule us. A bit prematurely to say the least. But, then, some people trust the Enemedia, trust the Science, and vote for Democrats. Stupid, stupid humans.

My in-laws family conducts "egg wars" with hard boiled and dyed eyes for Easter.
Each person chooses an egg and decides how to hold it in their hand(s). Folks then pair off.
One person uses their egg as a the striker and usually holds the egg with the pointy end down to strike. The other's egg is struck and usually that egg is held with the pointy side up. One strike is allowed and whichever egg's shell cracks, that person is out of the contest. (In the event of no crack, striking is repeated until one of the eggs' shell cracks.)
It's a single elimination competition, and eventually one person's egg comes through the fray unscathed, thus making them the egg wars' champion. The winning egg typically endures through four (or sometimes five) bouts of striking.

It's amazing, ain't it? And note the 3D nature of the trajectory. It's not confined to a single plane. The outbound leg is pretty in the Moon's orbital plane, but they hit the approach angle just so the Moon throws it "down" a bit. The cocks the return plane so that when the capsule gets back to earth, it's turns up just so it's heading NE over the Pacific for splashdown.
The Moon's gravity does all that plane changing. The TLI burn was simultaneously a re-entry burn as well! Now, there may be some slight errors, and they'll have two course correction points which should be plotted on that map. If they're off a smidge, they can do some small burns to correct.

We four Americans did not expect this and watched totally bewildered. Then hiked down and had some Scotch and dinner at a pub. Unlike my men, I did not have blood pudding or haggis as I live on bread and cheese and wine and dessert when I travel. In this case, every night Sticky Toffee Pudding.

It's a useful skill when you're shouting people down, but it's also good for whipping up a crowd. When people are being too quiet, you can start belting it out, and they'll start growing louder to match your volume.
I used this to effect in a performance at a famous theater tonight. In the first half, the performance was excellent, but the crowd was sedate, so after the intermission, I started screaming like a hillbilly banshee, and the crowd had no choice but to meet the standard.
I'm sure the performers appreciated that raucous response in the second half, because they kept gesturing to the crowd to bring up the volume even more.

I did get two duckies one Easter as there's a photo of todder me in pigtails with heart framed sunglasses talking to them in their yard. Daddy took the grown ducks (we were in the city) to his lake and I guess the foxes ate the poor things.

I remember the Easter Egg coloring kit where you dip it in a solution that looked like an oil slick and the egg came out looking like a tie dyed shirt.
Posted by: Harry Vandenburg
That sounds like marbling, the process used to create fancy endpaper in bookbinding where the finished product has multiple colors brought together with a swirling appearance.
I'm not certain what chemicals are used in that process, though, and whether any egg so treated would be free of hazardous or distasteful residues on its shell.

A lot of people did that. I know, I was the poor bastard that ended up putting down the new sub floor before we installed the new kitchen. The nightmare scenario back then was when the customer said they wanted to keep the floor they had. The problem is the industry changes every so often, and the toe kicks on really old kitchens weren't as deep, and the industry changed and started making base cabinets with a 1" deeper toe kick so you had more room for your feet. Well, now you have a 1 inch gap where the old floor don't meet the new deeper toe kicks.

I almost did ceramic in this kitchen, but with the larger tiles. I put ceramic in the last house, and mrs B said no more frigging grout to clean, so I did that luxury vinyl plank. I used the SPC (stone plastic core) type with the rubber backing, no wood core, not in a kitchen where water is involved. Best move I ever did in a kitchen. They really don't use ceramic much anymore in a kitchen. The vinyl plank can be laid down over anything.

Yeah you're not doing large tiles with a slope towards a drain. The vinyl plank is great for kitchens and regular flat floors. I used it in the one half bath and its great. I'm most likely going to use ceramic on top of hardy backer in the other 2 full baths for max water protection. Don't skimp on the vinyl plank floor, get the good shit. The $5-6 a sq ft stuff from one of the good companies, not the $1 sq ft crap. You want SPC. You can drop it in water, come back 20 years later and its still good. The wear layer is way thicker too.

I use McCormick liquid food coloring. Still uses hot water and a teaspoon of vinegar, but you can regulated the intensity of the color by the number of drops used. Also, many other colors can be made by mixing the basic colors by certain volumes. Much better than those Paz tablets. Been using the liquid dyes since the 70's.

Yeah, the hospitals use vinyl sheets on the wards.
But in the new ones, on the first floor, they do these epoxy terrazzo jobs that are just beautiful.
I wish they would do cement terrazzo, though. Just for old times' sake.

On April 1, 2026, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth requested the immediate retirement of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George. This decision is part of a larger leadership shakeup within the Pentagon amid the ongoing conflict in Iran.
Details of the Leadership Shakeup
General Randy George: Asked to step down as Army Chief of Staff.
Reason for Change: Hegseth is seeking leaders who align with his and former President Trump's vision for the Army.

I'm impressed. Back in the 2000s, Lunar Laser Ranging could determine the position of the Moon's center of mass relative to earth at about 2 cm, that's centimeters of precision. The Moon was shown to be within 2cm of where General Relativity says it should be (Mr. Newton alone would be about 10s of meters off over time -- not much, but still no cigar).
Well, as of now, they've got that down to 1mm basically. The Moon is within 1 mm of where Mr. Einstein's gravity says it should be.

Traditional terrazzo typically has the usual concrete floor, a two inch sand cushion, and two inches of white Portland cement terrazzo. So your structural floor has to be about four inches low.
Epoxy terrazzo typically can be as little as a quarter inch thick placed directly on the concrete floor... can be used in a remodel job w/o messing too much with floor elevations.
Both systems have similar grinding and polishing.
Had projects where they demo'd to the bone, and filled the old terrazzo floor with concrete and then went with a very nice epoxy terrazzo on top.

Floors weren't bad because it had rug over them for years, but they were stained in a few spots from shampooing. He did a beautiful job, they lasted 30 years, During this last move I had him come in again and redo them when I listed the house. Poor guy, he was 35 when he did them the first time, and he was 65 when he did them the second time.

They are now farther from earth than any humans since Apollo 17. Yesterday, the broke that since-Apollo record pretty soon. Now, they've broken that again.

I have a chevy colorado. Thats not a truck, thats a skateboard with a cookie tin hanging off the back. It won't fit. The bike is 7feet long, the bed is 6. I could do it if I lower the tailgate, put the bike in on an angle, and have the rear tire on the gate, and thats probably not a good idea for a 650lb bike. the dude was going to deliver it. We loaded it into his enclosed trailer, we got 1/4 mile away and his truck wouldn't shift going up the first hill, so we had to turn around.

I wish I had a truck. Its a nice little truck. Drives and rides like a car. It has a 1550 pound weight capacity. It must be a uranium hauler, because your not fitting anything weighing 1550 pounds in that thing, lol. Actually I stand corrected. When I got the plank flooring for the kitchen. It was 70lbs per box, and I had 600sq ft of flooring, so I think it was 35-36 boxes. We put some in mrs B's RDX, and I put the rest in the colorado. It handled it no problem. The harley would be no problem if it fit.

Old hardware store joke: One of the help calls in sick, so the owner gets his wife to help serve customers. Guy comes in, and she asks what he needs. He says a file, a little bastard.
She gets all offended, how dare you use that language with a lady. Hubbie runs over and smooths things over here, telling her that's a valid term for a type of file.
She doesn't like it, but accepts it. Later another guys comes in wanting a file. She says I suppose you want a little bastard too? He replies, No ma'am, I need a big sum bitch about this long....

I differ about blowers. Take the same engine one blown and one not and there is a world of difference. I've worked them both.
I had 6.2s with no complaints. However, with the exception that the engine wasn't built to handle it, a blower would have been simply marvelous.

There is nothing wrong with that! In fact, you could make money (possibly not much) writing a story about it. The "magical realism" genre might make more sense, but if you've played a MMORPG or even just D&D, then a LitRPG monster isekai (reincarnated as a kitten in a game-like world) could be more saleable.

That reminds me of the tragedy of Steven Hassan. He developed the BITE model of cult brainwashing, since he'd experienced it, and then re-succumbed to a different one. Apparently just very naturally vulnerable to social control, he is oblivious to his new home the Social Justice Cult being a cult that follows the BITE model perfectly. He has no idea! It's tragic, and raimondo seems similarly oblivious to his own brainwashing.

Yeah thats the problem. Thats why I said back it down. The worst damn thing is having to quit when you like it. They say you quit when you're ready. It seems you're never ready if you still like it. I came to terms with that I'll probably never fully quit. There will always be a random one here or there with decent periods of nothing in between.

Pesach Cafe
Pete Vander Muelen
The English word "Easter" originates from Old English Eastre or Eostre, likely derived from a Proto-Germanic root for "dawn" (austron-) or a springtime goddess associated with the east. This name is traditionally linked to the rising sun, symbolizing the resurrection, and was adopted to replace earlier Pascha celebrations.Dune: Meowsiah. Dog slept so deeply he attracted a vulture.
Big bunny bread for its meat is rescued and living his best bunny life. Puppy's been training for this very moment his whole life. Street argument. Rescuing a neglected senior dog (who looks like a teddy bear now). Last week I posted a short video of a bear waking up from hibernation with Stage IV bedhead. There's more to the story. That was an elderly circus bear callously discarded by the people he used to make money for. He's now been rescued and given his own paddock to walk around in. Low-energy cat. Lightning strikes are God's way of telling you Do Better. #DoBetter, people. Cats are why we can't have nice things. Further evidence. I will never forget this dog's birthday party because it's a nightmare dreamed by a demon. Guys pretending to listen to their wives. Koalas should be seen not heard. Fuck man that's awful. Cruisin' the strip.

It's been two weeks since he fell out of my bed. I took away the doggy stairs so he can't jump up there without me around. I lift him up. I lift him down. Not a problem.
He went outside. Came back in. I'm in my chair looking for a horror movie. For some reason, this 14.7 year old dog decides he'll run and jump on the bed like he used to do. His bacl legs are very strong, but not THAT strong.
Ralphy hit the bed, fell backwards. He's fine. He's walking. He looked so stunned. I have two more weeks of pain pills. He's laying on the bed now. Still WTF?
The vet always comments how full of life he is for his age. Still. WTF??

Back in the 80s it was the "language of the future" because it was very difficult to write unsafe programs in.
The only thing new about the Rust programming language (which gets the same press today) is that it's touted as transgender somehow.

awk is the trans language.
Got a string x = "10"?
x = x + 0
Now it's an integer 10, not a string.
x = x + 0.0
Now it's floating-point 10.0, not an integer.

He really is not that bad. I let the vet decide on life or death but he was bouncing around and after her examination, she chose life. I've been carrying him but he's been fine over a week ago.

I don't get it. Vulture sitting there looking menacing. Just one vulture; aren't they flocking birds? And don't they hunt by scent, so a sleeping animal wouldn't attract them?
Dog wakes up, bumps vulture. Vulture just continues to sit there.
Dog takes three steps and is getting petted by his human who was right there the whole time, not doing anything to protect the dog.
So, is the vulture the human's pet, too? Is it just a really odd choice for an AI-generated movie?

In a word - Yes! They are very sociable with other vultures and tend to flock and fly together. During this time of the year, we routinely have 50 or 60 that perch in the trees in the woods behind our house.
Note to those interested: With that many hanging around, they would easily clean up some very poor decisions in a few hours or so.

Iranian Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh was killed on Wednesday in a US-Israeli strike.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh, also known as General Mohammad Ali Fathali-Zadeh, was the latest Iranian regime leader to be taken out by US and Israeli forces.
According to Xinhua, Iran’s Defa Press news agency, a news outlet affiliated with the General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, reported on Thursday.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh led the “fatehin” special unit of the IRGC.

February 25, 1992: The Department of Defense issued DoD Directive 5210.56 ("Arming and the Use of Force"). This directive established strict limits on carrying firearms on military installations. It generally prohibited DoD personnel (including active-duty service members) from carrying privately owned firearms on base except in very specific official capacities, such as law enforcement or security duties.
March 12, 1993: The Army followed up with Army Regulation 190-14, which implemented the DoD policy more specifically for the Army. This is the regulation often cited in discussions about "disarming" soldiers on base.
Prior to 1992, policies varied by service and installation, but service members generally had more flexibility regarding personal firearms (though open carry or casual carrying while on duty was never the norm). The 1992 directive standardized and tightened the rules across the Department of Defense.

They weren't allowed to carry when I started at USACE in the late 1980's. After working on a CID facility and speaking with the agents there, I can't imagine carrying on base is a smart move. These are kids who can't help but destroy the barracks they live in, so not known for impulse control. And then there are the really criminal idiots. 18 to 24 year olds as a group are not known for their responsible behavior.

I recall that the Apollo lunar missions reached a surprisingly low minimum velocity as the craft traveled to the moon -- 2,000 miles per hour, then the moon's gravity began accelerating them towards the moon. Just enough velocity to get there. The burn to slow down into lunar orbit would eventually follow.

Going on 30 yrs+ here...
Best one could have hoped for was storage of privately owned firearms in the unit armory (if living on Base). Then got much more restrictive after 9-11.
Real awkward as some Bases had MWR ranges and hunting areas. Bases w/o ranges and if you lived off-Base you were SOL.

The storm was quiet, kind of a whispery thing, but it was heavy, and it had reached the point where you could hear limbs cracking and falling all over about every 30 seconds. I shouldn’t have gone outside but it was eerie and fascinating; no people or animals out (smart) just nature behaving in a really unusual way. So I was walking towards the front when a decent size limb came out of the oak tree right onto that powerline. Stretched it almost to the ground, I thought would break but it didn’t - and then one end touched the ground and 40,000 volts arced through it. BAM! Looked and sounded like lightning, given that I was only about 40 feet away it really sounded like an explosion. Damn!!!

That would be very difficult to do. Moose are pretty tough. I guess you could hit one in the eye and have it go into the brain, but I can't imagine a body shot with a .22 would do much.
And I do know what to do with a moose. It goes in the freezer; takes about a week to process all that. The hide gets to be mittens that last a very long time. The horns, should it have them, go over the garage door. Lol.

In the early 80's, young Lieutenant Diogenes was running a pistol.range at Ft Lewis. It was common kniwledge.that when doing this job, anyone (think the commanding general) could show up and shoot his privately owned weapons. And if you were running the range correctly, he'd let you shoot his old Colt .45. Hell of a lot of fun back then.

My squad leaders, platoon sergeants, and platoon leaders had better be in those barracks every damned day and at least once on the weekend. Not an inspection, but just being seen and seeing. Any damage is a swift paycheck adjustment.

Not at Ft. Wainwright, anyway. The hallways are always dusty and filthy. Some of the individual rooms are pretty gnarly, too. I don't think I ever saw any sergeants in the barracks proper. They are down in the day room sometimes, but not the rest of the building. We were forever getting told to make the rooms more like jails than apartments, because then they wouldn't destroy them.

There are versions of Buddhism that have different existences you can be reborn into, and 'heaven' and 'hell' can describe the best and worst of them. They're not final destinations like in Christianity, though. You can screw up in heaven, or live a really great life in hell, and be reborn back here next go-round.

About her husband, anyway. I don't think there's any validated information about Noem actually being bad at her job, just the optics with that commercial.
Bondi's actually similar: she blew up the optics badly with the Epstein thing, but all of the failed prosecutions we know about were due to DC grand juries and Hawaiian judges.

I'm unfamiliar with the details (probably because Japan does its own thing, so anime is not much of a guide here) but I understand that the basis is the Hindu "Yama Courts". You get judged by the lawbooks of these Asian cultures, like disrespecting your parents is among the worst sins. Then you go to a hell that befits those sins, or the judges figure out a fitting reincarnation for you.
It's all a little baroque for a Westerner like myself.
I figure that someone who messes up bad enough in this life to be sent to a worse one, is unlikely to find any better help in the worse one.

Scrambled and over-easy are great but the less work the better.
Medium is right out, and fried-hard is only for sandwiches. Omelettes are always good, but more work.

I was a dishwasher goon/prep cook in an Alaska restaurant. The breakfast cook was a master of over easy eggs. No spatula, just really good pans and a flip. He also did omelets with a slightly larger pan. He always washed his own pans, and kept them in a separate spot, draped with towels.
Kind of an autist thing, perhaps.

And not even as much, because they aren't going into lunar orbit. The Orion-SLS doesn't have to delta-v fuel budget to get into lunar orbit and back out within the required safety margins (stuff like early aborts and all that -- for about two days, if something bad happened, they could do an abort burn that would let them fall back to earth sooner. After that, they're committed to the slingshot around the Moon, couldn't get back any sooner).

So much so, they smudged up the windows pretty bad rubbing their noses and faces against them. They had to call down for window-cleaning procedures from Houston.

When youngest Wrecks daughter was seven, we won a lottery to go to Puerto Vallarta. She was then in her most difficult eating phase and would eat only McDonald's cheeseburgers. Puerto Vallarta is not known for its cheeseburgers but there was a McDonald's on the other side of town. We spent an afternoon walking there in the heat and when we got there, she wouldn't eat because there were sesame seeds on the bun.

Artemis is cool and all, but it’s kinda sad that they’re doing basically the same thing Apollo 8 did almost sixty years ago. I know it’s going farther, but still.
Posted by: Duke Lowell
It's more like Apollo 13 without the system failures. They are on a free return path back to Earth (no orbits, right?).
Up to now, the crew of Apollo 13 has held the record as the humans who had traveled furthest from Earth, owing to their having taken a free return path to swing around the Moon. All other Apollo missions performed a lunar insertion burn that put their crafts into orbit around the Moon.

Quick Hits
Libs of TikTok"There's just no way to determine an athlete's sex other than reaching under her skirt and fondling her genitals!" -- the Genius Alexandria Donkey-Chompers Don Ballfingers Lemon: "I was given the n-word treatment" when I was perp-walked as any criminal would be. A Democrat representative, "Shomari Figures" -- I'm not sure if that's a human name or a new He-Man character (like maybe he has numbers for eyes or something) -- wanted to prove that black people are too dumb to get ID to vote. So he asked the members of a black church how many of them had failed to obtain this exotic, elusive object called "personal identification." Literally no one said they did not have identification so he quickly pivoted to a different point. King Charles, long rumored to have secretly converted to Islam, not only issued Ramadan greetings during Lent, not only urged British citizens to learn more about Islam, but now says he will not issue any Easter message this year. Oh well, Easter's not a big Christian holy day or anything I guess. This post contains a bunch of claims about Charles' alleged conversion to Islam, which I have never heard and certainly cannot verify, but fuck this cuck.
@libsoftiktok 2h Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticizes people getting news from social media because it's "misinformation," and not "consistent" like legacy news outlets. Who here trusts the "consistent" legacy media?
I didn't even consider the Flat Earthers during yesterday's launch. How could I not think of the Flat Earthers? Apparently they're having a bad time, given that their whole stupid "the earth is totally flat you guys and NASA just fakes photos of a round earth" Identity. So they're back to their usual cope. They claim that the rocket shown on video was actually an "inflatable," a large rocket-shaped dummy balloon to con the rubes. He then repeats one of Cavernous Nostrils' key proofs for the moon landing being fake, to wit, how can they receive communications in space when Candace has problems getting cell phone coverage in the city? She actually said that. And she said it about radio transmissions during the 1969 moon landing. She showed no awareness at all that there was a kind of "wireless communication" available before she first got her cell phone in 2004. I would say this account is a spoof, but... they really do believe and claim these things. So even if it is a goof, it's still just repeating actual conspiracy theory claims. All systems are go! So... is it a joke? Maybe but the stupidity is very real. And now I think it's really real again.

Leo AustinAh! That explains it. By the way, the only reason Tucker Carlson agrees that antisemitism is on the rise is because he wants to suggest that Israelis -- Jews -- are increasing antisemitism and it's within their power to arrest this rise in antisemitism if they just stop being dirty treacherous Jews all the time.

I am pleased to announce that even Board Member Senator Rand Paul, known as an extraordinarily difficult vote, voted a strong YES. For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for Grand Parties, State Visits, and even, in the Modern Day, Inaugurations. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project, which is on time and under budget, underway. When completed, it will be the Greatest and Most Beautiful Ballroom of its kind anywhere in the World, and a fabulous complement to our Beautiful and Storied White House! President DONALD J. TRUMP

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.
They’re ripping the headquarters out of Washington and shipping it to Salt Lake City, Utah — the beating heart of the anti-public-lands movement in America. They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone...

All of these objections have been answered -- at one time there was a site that went through all these "plausible sounding" objections (the nutter stuff is ignored, you can't reason with crazy).
There was a delay as expected. It was edited out in a lot of the broadcasts. Now, the way it works. Nixon says "hell". Takes 2 seconds to get to the Moon. Then Armstrong hears it. He replies. Takes another 2 seconds to get back.
Now, on Nixon's end, there is a big delay between when he talks and Armstrong reponds, but no delay between Nixon responding to Armstrong, because we're listening on the same end.
One the Moon it was just opposite. From Armstrong's frame, he replied to Nixon with no delay, and there was a big delay for Nixon's reply.
Again, many networks at the time just edited out that delay because it was annoying and time consuming.

I remember when the Ag Department in Connecticut built some boat ramps on a golf course rather than yield the money to a state with actual agriculture.
Break them up, move them out of DC, put the labs where the forests are - nowhere east of the Appalachians.

I remember lear
Then learning that the Earth's poles flip polarity (reversing the Earth's magnetic field) every 250,000 years or so (based on the last 20 million years of history) -- and wondered when that happens again, will all of our electronics fail (will electromagnetism then follow a left-hand rule)?
[Per Brave "AI":] No, not all electronics will fail, as the Earth's magnetic field is too weak to directly disrupt the operation of most modern solid-state devices. However, the reversal process involves a significant weakening of the magnetic shield, which could leave satellites and power grids vulnerable to solar storms and cosmic radiation, potentially causing widespread blackouts and satellite damage.

Bondi's Out.
Is Tulsi Next?!
As you know, Pam Bondi was fired today.
This article repeats the rumor that Trump believed she was leaking to Eric Swallwell:Trump was also frustrated with Bondi because he believes she may have alerted California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell to an effort by the administration to release files from an investigation into his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy, one of the sources told Semafor.Regarding the claim that Bondi was fired because it was suspected she tipped off her friend Eric Swallwell about Patel's interest in releasing the Fang-Fang files:
Reagan ReeseThat doesn't mean much but it's only fair that I post the denial.
@reaganreese_ 27m A source familiar with Bondi's firing tells me this is "BULLSHIT."
But word is -- Trump's coming for Tulsi Gabbard next. According to the Guardian, Trump polled his other Cabinet Sectaries about whether she was worth keeping or not:
Donald Trump has privately asked cabinet officials in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions. It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode. Currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions. But Trump's discussions mark an ominous development for Gabbard, given the president tends to poll his advisers when he starts to seriously consider whether a personnel change is necessary. The two people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Trump's doubts about Gabbard followed her testimony at the worldwide threats hearing on Capitol Hill last month where she declined to condemn Joe Kent, who had resigned days earlier after arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States, the people said. The nature of Kent's departure and his criticism of the war had already angered Trump, but he expressed particular frustration about Gabbard seemingly defending Kent and appearing reluctant to defend the administration's position to attack Iran, the people said.Trump seems to have formerly been employing the strategy of keeping his critics and saboteurs inside the tent, so that they were pissing out of it instead of into it. But now he seems to be dropping that strategy and giving them all the boot. Bonus:

but the boss is the boss, and irrespective of her personal anti-war sentiments, it's not appropriate for the DNI to shelter or protect underlings that agitate against the boss' decisions.
tulsi truly was one of my favourite cabinet picks, alongside rubio and RFK. but the joe kent episode really calls into question her ability to sequester her personal anti-war inclinations from her duties implementing the president's vision.
even if that vision is misguided, it's her job.

Means that this probably will not be a redux of 2006, 2010, or 2018 midterms. More likely 1998 or 2014. Slight gain to a slight loss in the house and little change in the Senate.
One should always look at second term midterms as apart from first term midterms as well. The scary shit of what a president might do is absent then as a second term president, for better or worse, is a known quantity. 2006 was bad because Bush got deserted by his own side due to religion of peace, aborted amnesty plan, and the spiraling violence in Iraq which undercut his 2002-2004 victories.
And guess what, Iran was behind much of that spiraling violence in Iraq from 2005-2007.

i believe she was specifically chosen because she had any number of bones to pick with the deep-state intelligence establishment and no shortage of the necessary public courage to pick those bones.
her office has done some great work discovering some of the more nefarious intelligence plots against the greater trump political organisation.
but if she is protecting saboteurs who share her (understandably) deeply ingrained anti-war misgivings, she is not fit for the purpose.

(Online, they say this joke isn't on the mission tapes, but that doesn't mean Collins, a funny guy, didn't say it on Earth before the mission...)

Artemis crew is now testing the exercise wheel. This is causing small oscillations of the spacecraft, which they were expecting, and curious about how much it would be.
You can see the service module sort of oscillating from the solar wing camera feed. The motion is causing the wings to sort of flex themselves.

Not that I trust Fox News, but I’d have to say of all of Trump’s picks that both the administrative state and the institutional left in general want out most, it would be Tulsi Gabbard. Having a once high profile Democrat and woman in a current high profile position hurts their attempt to say Trump is extreme.
It highlights who the extremists really are. This isn’t to say she shouldn’t be fired if she’s screwing up, but it would be a welcome scalp to the left.

Commander Wiseman just gave an exercise wheel workout report. Said he got a good workout, but there was a little issue. Static electricity tended to build up on him while using it, and he had to be careful about that.
Orion's atmosphere is 70/30 N2/O2 at around 1 atm pressure (can go as low as 10 psi, depending on what they need), so not pure O2 or anything. Still, that static build up is something they'll need to fix.

King Charles III has indicated a shift from the traditional title of "Defender of the Faith" (referring specifically to Anglican Christianity) to "Defender of Faith" or "Defender of Faiths," aiming to represent all religious communities in a pluralistic Britain. While keeping the traditional title formally, he favors an inclusive approach, promising to protect all religions, including Islam and Hinduism, and honoring multicultural Britain. (AI Overview)
>Christianity Org UK: King Charles III - Faith and beliefs
King Charles III shares some aspects of the faith of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, but certainly not all. We take at look at his beliefs.
"King Charles seeks to be a monarch who reigns in a multi-faith realm, where Christianity is no longer the faith of the majority of his subjects. His personal life has caused some to question his faith but all Christians recognise they are sinners reconciled to God through the death of Christ; grace which extends to kings and commoners alike."

List of cabinet members and the VP by effectiveness:
Rubio
Bessent
Wiles
Vance
Vought
Those are the superstars.
Middle tier is Duffy, Zeldin, Wright, Burgum, McMahon. Very good.
Next tier would be everyone not on the bottom.
Bottom of the list would be Noem, RFK Jr, Tulsi, and Bondi. They've all had their challenges and screw ups. RFK Jr. is an ineffective speaker. Noem had weird personal crap. Bondi seems overwhelmed and confused. Tulsi doesn't have her heart in it.

Minor correction, I'm making an announcement on Easter, but it is called a fatwa.

Interestingly, Charlie Kirk in June of last year was adamantly against war with Iran. Called Lindsey Graham insane for advocating for regime change in Iran.

"'Take out the Ayatollah!' Resist that temptation. That's not prudence. That's not self-control. That's something else talking. That's a zeal. Very same zeal got us involved in a pile of garbage in Iraq. It all felt good with 'Shock and Awe' in March 2003. 'We're unstoppable. We're gonna take Iraq in a weekend.' Turns out, it didn't work that way. A lot of people died. A lot of Americans died unnecessarily."

@bungarsargon This is such a perfect example of how Trump broke the brains of so many on the Left. In the name of opposing "totalitarianism" and "defending democracy," DeNiro thinks there should be a body of elites who bar people from running for office, including someone who went on to win the popular vote. What's sad is that DeNiro is obviously experiencing immense, totalizing pain, genuine psychic distress at the outcome of an election. So much of their hatred of Trump is just an attempt to evade recognizing that democracy--their neighbors getting what they want when they vote in greater numbers--causes them searing psychic pain.

Exactly, some points of view are so toxic to the way things ought to be, that the people who espouse them must be silenced, ensuring by social or political pressure that no one can ever admit listening to them or supporting any part of what is said, and be called fascists or antisemites or something, so it is OK to destroy them.

The first one is where your political party votes for the person they want to be president and then he/she goes on to another part of the process. Let's call it a general election where everyone in the country gets to vote for the guy who they think should be president.

Their rights and freedoms are upheld by us, but their ability to chose must be curtailed in the preservation of their liberty.

So from the perspective of a leftist, this is just a short odd transient, an aberration from the established leftist norm. One man against the world who will be out of office soon and then it's time for seizing their rightful throne and exacting terrible vengeance against their vanquished enemies.

The antidote to those ideas is a healthy education system that teaches about those ideas in a balanced and ruthlessly honest manner - showing both bad and good (if there is any good in those ideologies) mixed with a strong dose of critical thinking skills.
Unfortunately, the commies figured this out and took over and poisoned our education system to do exactly the opposite.

"According to multiple current Trump administration officials with access to Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was just named Acting Attorney General, has been the main roadblock holding up prosecutions of former Biden officials, state-level politicians, and Antifa terrorists. Todd Blanche personally shut down the DOJ’s “weaponization” task force and is responsible for sidelining Ed Martin.
Todd Blanche sees himself as a “principled” conservative and views investigations of Trump enemies like Jack Smith as an “abuse of power.” He has privately told staff that he will not “stoop to that level.”
Under Todd Blanche, the failure of the DOJ to investigate left-wing terrorists and former officials who prosecuted President Trump will only get worse."

DeNiro is reportedly pretty dumb. He's probably just repeating what people around him are saying.

I dream of the day that Marxism and Islam are treated like White Nationalism, and if you look around a meeting wondering who the narc is, it's all of them. Literally every single one of them except for you is an undercover agent or registered asset with some state, local, or Federal agency or another. They're all building files on each other's cover identities like it's a great big game, except that you yourself will be going to PMITA prison for real if you so much as sneeze wrong. And they're all trying to get you to cross state lines with a controlled substance, explosive device, and NFA firearm, in the service of a recorded conspiracy.

It is why they are considered on the level with whores. They are whoring for attention. Some get very rich doing that.
Once they get rich, they get surrounded by a lower class of whore, the sycophant. The groupie. So now you have a rich attention seeking whore, and a money seeking attention giving whore and like two rats fucking in a coffee can on a hill, it just keeps rolling down faster and faster until it crashes.
So they still have coffee cans in USA? In Japan it is all bags. I miss the cans.

Up until 2008, the Dems had their "Super Delegates" which were party insiders that make up about a third of the delegates to the DNC. They were formed for the express purpose of stopping somebody like Jessee Jackson from becoming the nominee.
In 2008, Hillary had secured almost every super delegate to vote for her, and there was concern that those delegates would have put her over the top in 2008, so a push was made to get her to let them vote for Obama and not destroy his historic first and tick off the black vote.

The shift is that of the spectral lines caused by absorption of light by various molecules between the source and observer. They move redward or blueward depending on the velocity of the emitter relative to the observer. Assuming the light emits at all frequencies equally, the color of the object would appear the same at any redshift.

No, parallax from the spacecraft's translational motion would be effectively zero, so vanishingly small it would be (parallax from near stars over 6 months is pretty small over 1AU). They are rotating and changing attitude all the time, which would give you a relative motion of the background star field relative to the camera, but it would be slow.
Those are likely reflections of debris , ice particles, and other venting from the spacecraft.

This is similar, yet very different to the Apollo mission TLI trajectories. It has to do with the SLS/Orion's delta-v budget. Go to the Artemis tracker here, get the hang of the 3D view controls, and you'll see the trajectory.
Rotate it around to see the orbital plane of the Moon vs the spacecraft and how the free return slingshot changes planes of the spacecraft:

Another constraint on the Artemis trajectory that didn't apply to Apollo was Orion is solar powered, while Apollo used fuel cells. They can't let Orion be in the dark for much over an hour or so (I'm sure they've got contingencies, but normal mission profile needs sunlight).
That put a lot more constraints on the timing and trajectories compared to Apollo.

I think DeNiro is just left-brain dumb. The only reason he has any say in anything is that he had so much success in the movies that he became a political _donor_. And like a donor thinks he needs to tell people what they owe him for the money. He's shelling out, and Trump's getting elected president and the Republicans (in some form) control both houses, and conservative cases win in the SCOTUS.
That's got to be frustrating.

============
This is the crux of the argument about Trump. To the left, this is honest, to the right is it total bullshit.
Fake charges never leveled against anyone else, ie, a completely novel prosecution, in a court so fatally biased that the judge's family was making money off the case while it was ongoing!, and the corrupt prosecutor is herself an actual criminal. The conviction resulted in no actual penalty, and even as a conviction was just a symbol to the left.

>>> Women shouldn't be on long space voyages.
One reason is that the female body doesn't handle being dirty as well as the male body. (Private parts being interior rather than exterior makes cleanliness both more important and more difficult to do.) Also a reason women shouldn't be in the military.Posted by: Formerly Virginian at April 02, 2026 04:15 PM (N1DT3)
Fine. I will use Ace's Time Machine to go back in time and tell the pioneer women that crossed the plains and the Oregon trail to stay home. And the immigrant women who sailed on boats from Europe to America to stay home. And the Hebrew women that Moses freed to just stay put in Egypt. They don't travel well apparently.
Women can travel just fine. We have been doing it for Thousands of years. Even if we have smaller bladders.

See the ONT last night. They did a piss dump. And they had to upload procedures for the piss dump. While the space toilet was on the fritz, they had to use the CCU, collapsible contingency urinal. And then they had to dump it.
My mind was blown to learn they had to turn some heaters on in the system to warm up the piss before venting. Otherwise it would freeze and clog up the outlet nozzle. So, hot piss dump in space.

Thank you, Christopher. I'm already a bit better than when I asked upthread. I told son and DIL that faith is made deeper with grief and hardship.
My prayers are that God will, in His timing, give them a future baby from their love. They married in 2024 and were so excited.
I am ok if something is wrong with me...but with our sons I am Mama Bear and can't handle when they are hurting. I can't fix this and nurses fix things.
This was their first and very early, but already much loved by all of us. I'll meet that baby someday in heaven.

Water released into space boils off until it pulls enough heat out to freeze, then continues to sublimate. This close to the Sun, there's enough light flux to sublimate it all away and quickly.
Now, way out in the outer solar system, some ice would remain and is would cold enough the vapor pressure would get very small.
By heating the outlet tube and nozzle, they keep the liquid stream from freezing before it clears the spacecraft.

Thank you. I know it is not unusual or rare early on (9wks).
My husband's reaction was to text our son his sorrow, and that his mother miscarried and then "cranked out five babies." Such a delicate group are the males in my family, when I was a sodden mess (I cry about every 5-7yrs).
Thank you. I have hope for a future baby for them. I knew it was difficult from reading about it, but knowing they hurt made it so much harder.

Houston, we have a problem! Eagle-eyed NASA fans were left stunned after spotting an Artemis II commander entering his tablet PIN in plain sight on the launch livestream. Viewers wasted no time trying to guess astronaut Reid Wiseman's code after he unlocked his device 19 minutes before Wednesday night's launch. Wiseman, 50, grabbed his stylus and entered the four-digit code in plain sight, making it impossible for viewers to miss. "I appreciate you wanting to get people interested in rocket science, but maybe don't broadcast that the PIN to unlock the tablet on the rocket is either 9393 or 3939," one viewer wrote on X.I smell an overpowering whiff of Aksually. Here's a little rule that idiots don't know: The more determined you are to broadcast that you are Superior on a free social media platform generally acknowledged to be a sewer for the unemployable, the most certain the rest of us are that the only things you're superior to are jack and squat and Jack left town and Squat died five years ago "with" covid.

Geewhiz. Blue Origin’s flights (e.g., NS-31 in April 2025) are suborbital tourism aimed at offering a "groundbreaking" experience for passengers.
Conversely, Artemis II is a complex, 10-day deep-space mission intended to send humans around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years.

Called the "Block Party Bonanza," the new initiative will bring, what officials called "Life, Liberty, and Happiness celebration kits" to help neighbors present block parties in their communities for America's birthday celebrations.
The kits will be filled with "decorations, games, activities, and supplies to spark celebration and civic pride," officials said. (Plus a $250 gift card!)
"I love this. I don't think there's anything more symbolic of the sense of strength, unity, resilience, pride, and quite frankly, what I often reference as 'Philly swag,'" Parker said during the morning event. "When you come to a Philadelphia block party, no matter where you go, whatever the neighborhood is, their food is cooking, the music that is indigenous to that community is playing and the mayor, because I know how to cut a rug, is dancing wherever I am! And that is the best that Philadelphia has to offer."
When have you ever seen, "... the music that is indigenous to that community."

Moon Diamonds, to cut out the South African monopoly.
This was a feature in a little known sequel to War of the Worlds where Thomas Edison builds a fleet of space ships to invade Mars and has a stop off on the moon where huge amounts of gems are found. They go to Mars and bust the levees on the canals and drown them all. Good fun.

My brother is a contractor. He got called once because a woman with a multi million dollar house had a friend of her's stay over and brought her stupid daughter. The stupid daughter overflows the toilet and it kept running onto the floor in an upstairs bathroom. Doesn't tell anybody, and goes to bed with it still flooding over. I don't even have to finish the story, other than say a ton of nice shit got trashed in the floor below.

One reason is that the female body doesn't handle being dirty as well as the male body. (Private parts being interior rather than exterior makes cleanliness both more important and more difficult to do.) Also a reason women shouldn't be in the military.

They believe the earth is a circular disc enclosed by "the firmament". Antarctica is big "Ice Wall" surrounding the disc. Their map of earth is this azimuthal equidistant projection that centers on the north pole and maps the south pole to a big circle.
They claim that is the real shape of the earth. A pie surrounded by an Ice Wall enclosed by a big old firmament dome.

The timing comes down to apparently Bondi gave a heads up to Swallwell about the pending FBI release of their investigation of him and Fang Fang so he can contest it. And this is allegedly.
My guess is that post Iran, Trump wants a new team in place before heading into the midterms and AFAIK, Zeldin or perhaps Pirro may get the tap.
Sort of like Walz and Signalgate, Trump engineered a soft landing apparently for Bondi in the private sector.
And fwiw, the average tenure in a Cabinet office is less than 2 years (something like 18 months or so).

Also of some amusement was the Flat Earth "Final Experiment". Somebody offered to fly some of these guys to Antarctica to see the 24 hour sun. They had agreed that would be impossible on their flat earth disc map.
Some chickened out, but some did go. They got down there (after all this crazy DIY compass and bearing stuff to prove to themselves they were really going South), and lo and behold saw the midnight sun in Antarctica.
Some of them admitted, well hell, it's true. The other flat earther's immediately accused them of being part of the conspiracy, of selling out to Satan.

Trump's pardon is another one challenging recent practice like the reading of the 14th allowing anchor babies. Apparently the early belief was that the President's pardons DID actually cover all criminal prosecutions whether state or federal.
And it makes a sort of sense. Kings had absolute pardon power as it was simply a circuit breaker to prevent injustice.
One cannot become a tyrant by pardoning people in a world of negative liberties. Only by putting them in prison unjustly.
The risk is that a Dem in office would simply pardon all of their criminal supporters simply to get votes.

Well, and the president is a federal office, and letting the president rule on state issues violates the concept of the states being distinct from the federal government etc. Not that there's much left of that but the principle is valid.

The Hebrew Bible and the Gospels assume a flat earth, and the flat earth was taught by a number of Greek and Syrian Church Fathers.
Paul himself believed in a spherical earth with celestial spheres above us.
Augustine, to his credit, said that cosmological speculation was retarded and stood to make Christians look bad should any of their comments prove, in fact, to be retarded.

Then, imagine doing your best and finally getting into a rocket, walking the gantry and stepping into the capsule, you're going to the moon, one of a tiny number of humanity that has ever done so.
Then imagine that instead of praising you and talking about your skills, considering you an Astronaut, the news focuses on your skin color and genitals.

It's like the science director of the first ever mission to land a probe on a comet. At the moment of triumph, he was publicly tormented and humiliated by mutants over a custom "Charlie's Angels" themed shirt he was wearing. The outrage was fake, contrived, and utterly unwarranted, but his craven management required him to make a public apology. Instead of answering questions about the mission, he had a public struggle session about a god damn shirt.
Or the attempt to take the name of James Webb off the revolutionary space telescope recently put into position, over fake accusations of his supposed racism. They failed.

There are multiple passages that refer to the earth as a sphere, and describe it as round. How much the people understood about this is uncertain, but the Bible does not definitively describe the earth as flat. IT contains poetic passages that talk about the "four corners" of the earth etc, but that's like saying "sunrise" even though we know the earth spins and the sun is static relative to earth.

Even the ancient Greeks knew that the Earth was curved along the North-South axis. They were less certain about the East-West axis. Apparently, they envisioned Earth as a big cylinder. But that actually makes sense, given the constraints of their known world.

There was some talk that it started as a basis of examining everything technical, that people had to rely on experts by third hand reports, to try to find better answers, and of course it got filled in with people who just didn't trust any expert or authority, and decided to go full retard.
I have no idea how that opinion got into the zeitgeist

Sounds like nonsense. The Mercator map, for example unrolls a sphere onto a cylinder. Its advantage is that if you sail a ship using the bearing gotten by drawing a line on the Mercator map, you actually get there on the real sea. If the Earth was not a globe, this would not work.
The fact that different stars show as you move N or S also is hard to explain if the earth is flat.

Sailors have forever known that the earth is curved at least. Things that get far away on a calm sea disappear bottom first. You could see the tops of masts before the rest of the ship as you neared it, lots of stuff like that.

Not necessarily so. States themselves are limited by their own state constitutions and not following those in mostly blue states is debatable whether those states are actually fulfilling the Bill of Rights. Notice that even the Colorado appellate court threw back sentencing based on Colorado's violation of federal free speech rights.
The normal resort is to the federal courts via a habeas act but that is very difficult until appeals go all the way up to final resolution in the state court system.
There is an old maxim in law--every right must have a remedy and a right with no remedy (redressibility) is not a right at all.
A presidential pardon is simply another remedy for a rights violation. FWIW, you might want to read Madison's Federalist 46 regarding state versus federal relations. Inevitably, he holds that the PEOPLE of the US, not the states, determine who is to be superior in disputes.

Epistemology is a highbrow study, but lots of people who have little training in logic also want to know how we know what we know is valid.
Flat earthers are loons who get stuck on stupid, but that desire for truth is there, aching for resolution. It is also the basis for gnosticism, which is poison because it promises that reality is false and the hidden knowledge is available for good boys a girls.

As Part of JD Vance's Anti-Fraud Task Force, Feds Raid Fake Hospice Fraudsters In California
Remember earlier stories about, what, 89 "hospice care" "businesses" operating in a ten square block area of LA? Hospice care is care for the terminally ill. It can be expensive, but the care is brief: Most people who enter hospice care die within two or three weeks. That's not the case in the Hospice Care Businesses being raided. Astonishingly, after eight months of care for the terminally ill, these Modern Miracle Factories have achieved a ninety-seven plus percent survival rate. And I'm not making that number up, that's from the Fox video report below the fold. Even though these Resurrection Mills are bringing the dead back to life, the anti-science thug JD Vance wants to arrest them instead of giving them all Congressional Medals of Super-Science! NYP:
The Patriot Oasis
@ThePatriotOasis
🚨BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says his Fraud Task Force is NOT wasting time after the California raid this morning. VANCE: "Our task force isn't wasting any time cracking down on fraud." "This morning in the LA area, federal law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole $50M+ from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems."
The home of a husband and wife who own a Southern California hospice accused of committing $7 million in fraud was raided by FBI agents in conjunction with Health and Human Services early Thursday morning. The raid is one of several that took place as part of a massive federal effort to address widespread fraud in the state in coordination with Vice President JD Vance's Fraud Taskforce -- and the California Post was there. In dramatic fashion, the couple, Amelou Gill and Gladwin Gill, who operate St. Francis Palliative Care in Anaheim, were arrested at their home by an FBI SWAT team as authorities sawed through the metal front gates of their property and called with loudspeakers for them to come out. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was on the scene as well and said the couple created a hospice in their daughter's name and bilked millions of dollars from taxpayers. "Since 2022, there have been allegations, but for four years, what seems to be typical in California, nothing was done," he said. Their hospice had a mortality rate of just 2.3% over the last five years, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Dr. Oz told the California Post that CMS has suspended "hundreds" of hospice licenses in California. "In 10 weeks we're getting close to what Governor Newsom did in four years," he said. ... Dr. Fariba Javaherian is a registered dermatologist, but according to CMS billing data obtained by The Post, she is associated with 63 hospice facilities across California either as a medical director, attending physician or in some other capacity.Apparently there are millions of terminally ill patients dying of Problem Acne.
Remember, the very very smart Smarties of the Left insisted that JD Vance's posting as anti-fraud task force commissioner was some kind of political setback, because it's a big waste of time because Fraud Is Fake. The Science (TM) says so. While the reality is 100% the opposite. I'm not a JD Vance booster any longer, but conservative voters are keen to finally have fraud investigated and punished after seventy years of politicians promising that to us, and they will reward Vance for doing the job that until now American politicians just wouldn't do.
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) registered with Dr. Javaherian, a unique 10-digit number given to individual health care providers, was used for 1,662 unique patients across the 63 hospice agencies and appeared on more than 6,000 claims that billed $35,816,331.
Following The Post's investigation, CMS revoked Javaherian's license to bill Medicare and suspended the license of at least 16 hospice agencies associated with the dermatologist. "Dr. Javaherian's white coat was a costume," CMS Administrator Dr. Oz said. Javaherian is not accused of any wrongdoing.

So he's just going to let countries run out of oil? The Philippines is almost completely out. It's at a crisis point globally, this blockade.

Trump just pardoned a proven hospice fraudster, so I guess he's okay with it.
I am once again asking Newsom to grow a fucking pair and start using the full force of California’s Democratic supermajority to crack down on Silicon Valley’s collaboration with MAGA. Vance is a Thiel puppet.
I don’t give a shit about the mean tweets your interns wrote, Gavin. I want to see you drive a stake through the heart of MAGA’s social media manipulation strategy. I want to see the state of California seizing Palantir and Twitter offices

Odd case. It seems the slut-whore tramp trollop mother did identify one of the two twin retards as the father. It was the other retard who sued to have custody. Odd.
I believe there are ways to determine even among identical twins which is the father, although it's very expensive and far more than just a typical paternity test.

BREAKING: Swalwell NDA Sexual Abuse story heating up FAST!
My anonymous source is reporting a major media outlet is talking to THREE women this afternoon; one has receipts and one is a former Kamala Harris staffer.
My guess is that Katie Porter is trying to hustle Swalwell off the race. Presently two Republicans are taking up the top of the "jungle" primary. Which means no Democrats will be in the runoff.
If Swalwell sinks below 10%, Porter stands to benefit from whatever women are still supporting that flatulent sleaze (and from simps). This might put her in second place which means she'll win the runoff.

The knuck doesn't have to be super fast or super slow which is why it was the career saver when fireballer Jim Bouton picked it up after messing up his elbow in the 60s. He couldn't throw a curve after that. His book "Ball Four" is a hoot.

sadly the support from the pundit-sphere and GOP party politics is not "who will be the best person for the job," but "who will be the best person for MY job."
Vance is not connected to old money and old power centers, and most of the big punditry is deeply tied to those.
He IS tied to new money and tech bros, and he IS charming and dedicated, and he did grow up in one of the disposable fly-over states IS the son of an addict who's drugs came through a network overseen by cartels, the CIA and enabled by foreign wars.
He has the wrong friends and the wrong relatives, and as usual they do not call him white trash because he is disposable, they call him white trash as a pretext for disposing of him.

Breaking: Multiple Reports That Trump Has Told Pam Bondi That Her Time as AG Is Coming to an End
Update: She's been fired now?
Trump posted that Todd Blanche will be acting AG. Posted by: Duke LowellThe claim is that he is pre-firing her, I guess. Telling her to prepare her resume and make up a reason why she is voluntarily leaving the job. Is this true? No idea, of course. Poltiico:
Bondi on the brink? By JACK BLANCHARD with DASHA BURNSThe New York Post:
... WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Dasha last night confirmed those buzzy NYT and CNN scoops that Pam Bondi will likely soon be OUT as attorney general. Bondi beached: A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year's California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role. (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently. Epstein strikes again: Rumors of Bondi's departure are hardly new, but it seems the mood has shifted against her in recent days. The AG has been under pressure since last summer over her ill-fated handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files inquiry, with even close ally Susie Wiles admitting Bondi "completely whiffed" her response. Trump has also long been frustrated over the DOJ's failure to successfully prosecute his enemies, and readers will no doubt recall the infamous "Pam" message that Trump accidentally posted onto social media last year. Zeld-IN? By contrast, Trump has repeatedly showered praise on Zeldin for his work at the EPA. Zeldin worked as a New York attorney in his 20s, and as a House representative during the first Trump administration became known for his hawkish support of Trump's various legal battles and pursuits. Non-denial denial: A statement issued to CNN and the NYT shows Trump voicing personal support for Bondi. "Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job," the president said, which is hardly a guarantee of her future status. Bondi accompanied Trump to the Supreme Court yesterday morning and was in the audience for his address to the nation last night. Zeldin was also there.
President Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday that she would be out as head of the Department of Justice, a source with knowledge of the conversation told The Post on Thursday. Bondi was at the White House to attend Trump's address to the nation on the Iran war, and earlier had accompanied the president to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case. Fox News said Trump will replace Bondi with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the interim attorney general. Trump is expected to soon make a formal announcement. The White House did not directly address the report, but pointed The Post to a quote from the president praising Bondi.So Fox is confirming it. Unexpected, at least to me. Update: Sorry to push unvetted info, but a commenter posted this and I'm going to repeat it even while declaring "I don't know if this is anywhere close to true."
Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.
A person familiar with the situation tells me that Pam Bondi will be out as AG imminently, confirming scoops from @CNN and @nytimes.

Bondi was friends with Ben Crump and helped sink the country into racial despair for Little Trayvon. Bad on guns too.
Not sure what part she played in the Epstein Op that was intended to overshadow Trump's Third Term and take him down for good.

Reality is not a team sport.
This is probably hitting close to home for Trump - remember he was arguing for libel reform a while back.
He is generally right, but how you would actually encode this in law to be more restrictive of outright lying about public figures without giving a Dem administration another tool to arrest dissidents would be hard to do.

re: bondi, i'm rather surprised it took so long to replace her. she's been an extremely weak link since day 1, and her incomprehensibly clumsy handling of the epstein documentary rollout caused permanent damage to trump's electoral coalition that never has been nor can be ameliorated. while i don't really care that much about trump's coalition, her oversight, such as it was, of the attempted lawfare-vengeance prosecutions of e.g. letitia james succeeded at nothing more than making a martyr of some of the most reprehensible legal officers in the country.
the woman is a empty-bleached-headed amateur and should never have been elevated to her position, much less tolerated for so long.
to tie her foibles in to the spice, the epstein debacle unquestionably provided prefidious fifth-column types with ample ammunition for their divisive conspiracy mongering.

You are, if anything, bring too kind to Bondi. . Trump may yet pull off an electoral miracle but he had no, zero, less than zero chance of surviving the impact of the mid term elections because of Bondi’s failure to prosecute obvious traitors and seditionists.

What if she's a disloyal c-word?
More to the point the media and general population can only focus on one thing at a time. Trump knows how to move a needle and make the media play a tune.
At worst it dilutes Iran as the Only Story In The Room as it now moves to a phase of wrapping up in our favor anyway. This will let "Iran" reset in a new narrative frame of Trump's choosing.

None of it matters. You could resurrect Daniel Webster and make him AG. Wouldn't make a lick of difference. He may have beat Satan, but he wouldn't beat the DoJ or the federal judiciary - they run this country, not the other way around.
It's why I haven't gotten worked up about her, and won't about her successor. Trump should just leave it vacant. For him, an AG is about as useful as naming a Secretary of Windmill-Tilting.

Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI�s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.

"Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.'
'We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.'
Trump said that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general until a permanent nominee is picked. "

Leaks to the NYT primarily come from the CIA and other Deep State Traitors:
"According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is 'spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further'."

Probably quite a few. But none of them will ever pass Senate confirmation, which is all that matters.

It's not who they have fighting, or how hard and smart they fight:
It's who they are fighting.
The judiciary.
And until they have someone willing to lie, cheat and steal to win, none of it matters.
Which is why Trump needs to stop with the defense of all these lawsuits and get his "Judge Roy Bean" to start firing off ever and ever more ridiculous injunctions.
Pre-empt them. Post-empt them. Up-empt them. Down-empt them.
Just get a retired judge and go whole hog.

It's not who they have fighting, or how hard and smart they fight:
It's who they are fighting.
The judiciary.
And until they have someone willing to lie, cheat and steal to win, none of it matters.
Which is why Trump needs to stop with the defense of all these lawsuits and get his "Judge Roy Bean" to start firing off ever and ever more ridiculous injunctions.
Pre-empt them. Post-empt them. Up-empt them. Down-empt them.
Just get a retired judge and go whole hog.
Fuck the cartel judges--let 'em all fight each other: "No I'm in charge! No, I'm in charge! You're a bitch! No, you're a bitch!"

Never a more correct, accurate and essential post—it’s Trump’s ass, our ass, and the Constitutional USA that are on the line.
Senate ‘confirmation’ of a Judge Roy Bean type becomes irrelevant if Trump co-opts /brutalizes one of the RINO cucks keeping the Senate in pro forma session into dropping the pro forma charade ball and allowing a recess appointment of Trump’s AG.

IMHO, the hold-up is islam. It's almost impossible to deal with make a deal with people who believe that god's will is that the win or die trying.
So, a couple of things need to happen:
1) We arm Iranians who want the gov't members ended and dead. If if if we can find enough Iranians who will fight for themselves and their own country.
2) We need a figurehead that the Iranians people can get behind, right now all they have is an amorphous blob of "someone better". That figurehead is probably the Shah of Iran, assuming he's up to the job.
3) Not sure this would work but pit the Iranians nationalism, culture, and history against the invader colonialist moslems with Zoroastrianism if that's even still a thing. Probably not.
Posted by: naturalfake at April 02, 2026 01:50 PM (iJfKG)
Ask yourself who wants that job AND is confirmable...and you'll find almost no one who will be better than who we had...as mentioned many times, Bondi was the best AG we had in 50 years b/c Rs NEVER have good AGs, and she was definitely in the decent category...she didn't DO anything against what we wanted (now, did she do ENOUGH for what we DID want - probably not...but that NEVER happens)...
She also oversaw the cleanout of the buried in zealots from numerous agencies below her...and did it with no lawsuits and losses...

The folks who waged war on Trump do so from the safety of blue enclaves. Where they won't get indicted, or the charges will be dismissed, or they'll be found not guilty.
The belief that things will be sunny if only we have the right face in the manager's office is just going to lead to more unhappiness.

Hitler’s Edifice Complex - Timothy W. Ryback
He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power. “They should sense the strength and grandeur of the German Reich as they walk from the entrance to the reception hall,” Adolf Hitler told his chief architect, Albert Speer, outlining his plans for an extension to the old Reich chancellery...
The new annex, connected...by a marble corridor hung with crystal chandeliers, was part of Hitler’s ambitious plans to align the Berlin cityscape with his vision for the future of the country. Hitler wanted a Triumphbogen, a triumphal arch, twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe...He wanted an “Avenue of Splendor” for military parades. “The Champs-Élysées is a hundred meters wide,” Hitler told Speer. “We will make our avenue twenty meters wider.” A planned “Hall of the People” was to be topped by the largest swastika on Earth.

Crimes have to be prosecuted in the district they happened. The DOJ can't just randomly pick a district and try a case.
This is why it is ironically good news they raided Mar A Lago. That's why a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida is hearing evidence about the conspiracy against Trump instead of the case being heard in DC.
Posted by: JackStraw at April 02, 2026 02:07 PM (viF8m)
-----------
Do all DoJ cases have to be handled through DC juries? I mean, can any DoJ case be brought up in, say TX or FL rather than DC? What's the requirement to have a case heard elsewhere?
The purported crime done there? Or the purported victim? In either case I think the DoJ should be able to swing it.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at April 02, 2026 02:04 PM (AkEZC)
The locus of the crime...you need some element of the crime occurring in the jurisdiction.
J6 was obviously DC.
It's why I said the law should be changed for DC occurring crimes so that any state could hear them...but no one has done that...

Funny, this doesn't surprise me at all. Trump is running out of time, he NEEDS results before the midterms. He needs a wartime Pam Bondi who will go to the mattresses.
She wasn't loyal enough to actually fire anyone huge or jail anyone big enough to scare the dems into doing the people's work and not theirs.
I don't care how loyal she is. If she fired moles and traitors in house, great. But none of that translated to indicting all the vile people we've been screaming about. The people who will impeach Trump and build a gallows for him the second the midterms swing their way.

Ham should know, since her husband died in a bike accident when her children were 2yrs old and one two months before birth. My own SIL had to deal with the sudden cardiac death of her husband (my dude's brother) when her boys were 4 and 3yrs old. It is hell on earth, and like MK Ham says, no one should have to go through this depth of grief. And certainly no one should judge Kirk as Owens has. Made worse by her "platform" to trumpet her delusions.
Regarding Bondi: I don't know why she did or didn't do as people wanted her to. If she did, in fact, tip off SwallowingWell, I will not defend her at all. I did not think she was "in over her head" in the beginning, but I guess she was.

Even so far as paying a STATE AG to go after him.
Yet, no charges filed. The idea that you can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham samich, does not seem to apply with the Bondi DOJ.
And somehow the DOJ can't argue effectively that Sanctuary City policies and statements, breaks the aiding and abetting law.... so Judges keep throwing the DOJ lawsuits against cities and states out.
So.... yeah... in the immortal words of that great Thespian, and Articulate Speachifier, Curly Bill Brocius?

And somehow the DOJ can't argue effectively that Sanctuary City policies and statements, breaks the aiding and abetting law.... so Judges keep throwing the DOJ lawsuits against cities and states out.

Sure, but did the case presented by his side look solid or weak? That is the question.
Posted by: Oldcat at April 02, 2026 02:31 PM (8avO+)
The "Birthday Book" Outreach (2011): The email outlines how the bank could use Epstein's personal relationships with these men to secure them as "Ultra High Net Worth" (UHNW) clients.
The Problem for Dimon: This contradicts his 2023 testimony that he was unaware of Epstein's activities. Investigators argue that "the top floor" of the bank was actively profiting from Epstein’s "black book" long after his 2008 conviction.
The "Wall of Cash" Email (2013):
An internal JPMorgan email discussing Epstein as a "top-tier referral source" for the bank's "Wall of Cash" program. The email allegedly notes that Epstein was a primary bridge to international dignitaries and intelligence-linked figures, specifically mentioning that "compliance concerns" regarding his past conviction should be managed to keep the pipeline open.

The Intelligence Link: This is where John Brennan’s name frequently surfaces in the 2026 inquiry.
and #3
The "Moscow/Russian" Date Email (2010):
An email from Epstein to a high-ranking contact (recently linked to the broader "Clinton network" in the files) regarding a meeting with a "clever, beautiful, trustworthy" Russian woman.
The Significance: This email is being used by the Trump DOJ to prove that Epstein was acting as a "broker" for foreign assets. If Brennan or Dimon knew Epstein was facilitating meetings between US elites and foreign nationals, their "doing nothing" moves from negligence to a national security failure.

Saudis had been playing army in Yemen for a while, but there is a whole desert between that front and anything important. Not seeing it as a factor.
Qatar is sitting there on its little peninsula and is pretty vulnerable if they get too sporty. The smart move would be to grab any Iran money and play good teammate.

Defining "countries" hides a bit of nuance - the Sunni/Shia split.
Iran is majority Shia, and is the only Islamic country which is. Iraq has a large number of Shia, but is still majority Sunni. The first civil.war within Islam traces back to that split.
Trying to see which countries would ally with the US papers over that difference, and doesn't indicate much in the longer term.
With the exception of the Saudis, who view Iran as an existential threat to their claim of the leadership of the Muslim world, the remainder of those countries will ally with the US only on a temporary basis, and therefore cannot be counted on for much beyond press releases. But... when the kinetic part is over and we pull most of our forces out of the way, they will turn on Iran visciously.

In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there. Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar -- yet has still survived. This week, part of the noisy right-wing online podcast-sphere again turned on the president. Leading the virtual charge, again, was Trump's one-time cheerleader, Tucker Carlson. There was a time when Carlson was fully Team Trump.I don't think so. Fox had to release Tucker Carlson's texts and emails during the Dominion lawsuit and Carlson stated he "truly hated" Trump and couldn't wait for Comey and Jack Smith to take him out so that he'd never have to hear from Trump again. A lot of craven opportunists jumped on the MAGA bandwagon not because they supported Trump or MAGA, but because Trump represented a disruptive force that could break the ice of conservabot doctrine and reshape the right into something new. These opportunists -- these grifters, often actually white supremacists and Nazis and not just in the left-wing "this person disagrees with me so he must be a Nazi" way -- saw Trump's power to shatter old smug conservabot certainties and reform the pieces of the Republican coalition into a shape he preferred. These grifters did not support Trump's vision of what the re-made party should look like. They had a dark, extremist, and yes frankly Nazi/White Supremacist agenda. They just temporarily supported Trump because their goals equally relied upon shattering the old conservabot/neocon alliance. And they hoped that by sucking up to Trump, they could convince him that their totally-new ideas about white supremacy and anti-Jewish hatred should finally be given a try. (Like communism, Real Naziism has never been tried.) And even if Trump refused to bend to their will, why, as long as they were seen as close to Trump, they could emerge as his successors after Trump was term-limited and retired.
Carlson often appeared at Trump rallies as part of the warmup act.It is true. Meanwhile, Candace Owens has made it explicit and commanded her deranged, retarded followers to acquit the gay furry leftist murderer of her "best friend" Charlie Kirk.
But in the past year, he has tried to lead the MAGA base away from Trump and down a very dark path. Fortunately, the Trump base hasn't followed him there. The president's strong Middle East policy seems to have particularly deranged his one-time supporter. While the president has advocated a strong defense of America's regional allies, Carlson has spent 100% of his time trying to turn the MAGA base against Israel and in favor of Islamist regimes. His podcast has become a remorseless roll call of Holocaust deniers, antisemites, Islamic extremists and World War II revisionists. While attacking Trump, Carlson eagerly softball-interviews people who love both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Quite an achievement. Undermining While accusing everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, Carlson has obsessed about nothing else. While saying "We're not allowed to talk about Jews," he has talked about nothing but Jews. This obsession has culminated in a total derangement over the president's Iran policy. Carlson and other people in the right-wing podcast-sphere pretend to be confused by the president acting to stop the mullahs from getting an atomic bomb. At one and the same time, they say Iran was never seeking nuclear weapons. And that Iran has the right to nuclear weapons. They pretend the Iranians were nowhere near having a nuclear weapon. But that it would be understandable if they were. This culminated in Carlson calling Trump's actions "evil." And suggesting he has once again been manipulated by, well -- guess who? From being Trump cheerleaders, Carlson & co. are trying to do everything they can to destroy the president.
Candace Owens is now shamelessly declaring Tyler Robinson innocent.

So, that's the play now with the VA election at 19 days to go and huge new early voting spots opening Saturday.
VA's 4 seats are a Dems dream...so they will do ANYTHING to get them...

Should we support Adam Schiff and Eric Swallwell too? We wouldn't want to ostracize them for their opposing views either, right?
This is what you Nazis do not get: You are not my ally with a different view. You are my enemy. I have no desire to align or ally with you, ever, and in fact would vote for a liberal Democrat to keep you out of power.
You are my enemy. Stop your faggoty cloying whining about me "ostracizing" you. I ostracize my enemies. Sometimes, as with Iran's mullahs, I actually support killing them.

No need to descend to get where you've always been.
Tucker's always been a grifter, following the breeze to where the money blows.
Owens has always been a nutjob.

The problem with traitors inside the gate is that they intentionally open the gates to the enemy. Same way that the Dugin-Bannon-Flynn-Fuentes-Owens-Tucker demoralization campaign for midterms is in full swing and aimed directly at those who 'think' they are rugged individualists that think for themselves.
Same with the Just Asking Questions to come up with absurd theories like faked moon landings, Charlie Kirk's political assassination done by whoever rather the leftist furry trannies, aliens, or whatever other conspiracy theory blaming Jews for every evil in the world is bullshit.

I don't give a fuck about Tucker. He's been right a lot more than he's been wrong. I don't for a second he is beyond reproach. Maybe he's getting paid. Maybe he's being blackmailed. Who cares. He doesn't hold any real power.

It is hard to tell because she has the skill of a psychopath in seeming to believe everything she says, even if it's a total lie. Psychopaths have that ability because they do not feel social shame and also have no moral code against lying. In fact, they like lying which is why they frequently grin while lying. The Duper's Grin --they get off on thinking they're superior to you because they told a lie and you believe it.
Psychopaths really screw normal people up. Normal people think that they can tell when someone is lying because they will appear awkward, uncomfortable, and nervous about being found out. Psychopaths do not feel that at all and so can lie with seemingly 100% conviction.
So I have no idea what this nasty whore believes or not.

Hamas has been wrecked. Hezbollah's been wrecked. Iran's been wrecked. They find themselves, amazingly, in the camp of their Arab neighbors for the first time ever. They're undefeated in yet another season of the conflict.
There aren't many enemies left for them to devastate, at least for the time being.
Sure, there will be mopping up for them to do - it's a big mess. But Israel won... sorry losers, you'll just have to choke on those sour "grapes" in your mouths.
In a year's time, most people will have moved on from "Buh Muh Jews" and they'll be shouting at an ever-shrinking audience about Jews who aren't in the headlines anymore.
Candace is probably in the best position, since she can always claim Xi Jinping had a butthole reconstruction after his gay affair with Trump, or whatever. But the others have sort of staked everything on the Jews.

wrong. Most of us had problems with him -- the open admiration of Putin, lying about Russia being economically advanced, just full-on communist ball-washing -- but we repressed criticism for the "hey guys we're all on the same team" bullshit reason you're now whining about.
At some point -- I think when he openly declared Hitler to have been the Good Guy in World War Two -- we decided we're NOT on the same team and so we do not have to suppress criticism just for the sake of politeness.
I know you guys are big on Hitler but normal, educated, moral people are not.

This part I'll quibble on. Remember the timeline. 2020-2021. J6 Reichstag has gone off. The rat caged are getting snapped on. Thousands of J6 guys in jail and them firing up the house undemocrat committee. Social media working in lockstep.
Tucker is getting booted off Fox (the whole thing with the Lawsuit.) He is speaking out for free speech and is getting throttled as much as they possibly can. Elon buys twitter. Things start to move. He offers Tucker a platform. Remember the millions of views his first video had on the new X?
What I am saying is that I have spoken up for Tucker for speaking out on free speech in the face of literal star chambers even when everything looked fucking grim. Elon and to a lesser extent him did a lot to open things back up.

We saw that in the miffs and lover's quarrels between Trump and Elon.
We have also seen that while Tucker may have been for free speech, other values he does not hold to so strongly. So he is using his free speech to advocate for the guys in Qatar and wherever. I think he has taken the old adage about being so open minded his brain falls out to that extent.

No, he very quickly got on the UFO train. And I started thinking at that time, what the hell is he talking about. So that made me wary and I paid less and less attention to him. Then he lost his mind over the Oct 7 crap, and began the Islamic apology tour, and I figured oh boy, he's just lost it. And he has dug in deeper and deeper. It's now his career. He is totally invested in our losing in Iran.

I had written him off long before that. He's a weird little geek who believes he's at least ten times smarter than he is, and his stuff is *insufferable.*
Before he came out as a flat-out historical revisionist and scholarly punchline, I tried to listen to his Jonestown study, because it's a topic I'm interested in learning more about. Tried. And failed. I made it a few hours in, and gave up. I'd learned nothing new - except about Cooper, because he spent ten minutes talking about himself for every minute he spent on Jim Jones.

Yes and it didn't just stop with one or two florid beliefs. Within a year, Tucker promoted:
* UFOs
* The CIA killed Kennedy
* Churchill was really the bad guy in WWII and controlled by Jewish Capitalist interests (which is identical to Hitler's propaganda DURING WWII)
* Chemtrails are real
* FDR allowed Pearl Harbor to happen so that he would have an excuse to do the Jews' bidding
* You should shine red light on your asshole for some reason

I suspect that it is actually very common for people to be really right on one issue while useless at best elsewhere. Some of the best articles written on the braindead Ukraine policy under Biden were at Max Blumenthal's Grayzone (the outlet the chick works at who married Joe Kent). Then Blumenthal went to Iran and filmed literal propaganda in their missile museum and I stopped going to that site. I knew they were anti-Israeli, but the propaganda footage was a tell in the same way Tucker's UFO and "history of WW2" interviews were.

FDR actually did have a scheme to drag us into the war (against Japan). This is not new or secret info, it was published in the Naval Institute Proceedings back in the 1960s. A schooner was taken into service (but not actually commissioned) under the name Lanikai, and sent to the East. While she was on her cruise, Japan bombed Pearl. And she made it back.

Tucker values free speech because speech is how he gets paid. He wasn't gonna get a fat contract by a leftwing media source so he needed free speech so he could go it alone. But going it alone meant that he was actually free. Free to say the things that he wants to say. And, apparently, what he wants to say is Israel bad.

He has always been a piece of shit, and no my views of him have not evolved, why would they? He's still a smarmy guy on the take.
He’s a lying grifter. He sees trump is falling out of favor and wants to guide the next right wing grift. Unfortunately for him the right is so insanely good at grifting he has to compete with a ton of different factions.
Born with a silver spoon and it shows. (Heir to the Swanson frozen dinner fortune.) He craves attention and approval. He has no loyalty to the truth. Jon Stewart had him figured out 20+ years ago.
He was always awful, but he went from smarmy and annoying to utterly vile after 2016. He’s a white nationalist/ borderline Nazi.
He’s literally Trump if Trump wasn’t a moron with a narcissistic personality disorder. Very dangerous figure. Just because he is correct about the Iran War, it does not absolve him.

No it doesn't. I've been saying he's a cheesy charlatan for like 15 years.
It doesn't take a Nostradamus - just someone who paid any attention to Carlson in the many, many years before he did his next heel-turn to the MAGA grift, which he's since moved on from.
If you kept telling people someone's a piece of shit who can't be trusted further than he's been kicked, and then they do it anyway, and they get bitten, you SHOULD point out how credulous they'd been.
They won't like hearing it, but them's the breaks.

The report explicitly rejected conspiracy theories claiming that President Franklin D. Roosevelt or his top advisors had "tricked, provoked, incited, cajoled, or coerced" Japan into attacking the U.S. to draw America into the war.

Bondi was friends with Ben Crump and helped sink the country into racial despair for Little Trayvon. Bad on guns too. Not sure what part she played in the Epstein Op that was intended to overshadow Trump's Third Term and take him down for good. A real useless waste of space and that's the charitable read. If she's gone good riddance but I'm not sure she's gone.

From GatewayPundit
Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported that Pam Bondi met with President Trump on Wednesday night before his Iran speech.
Bondi has reportedly already flown back to her home in Florida.
The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.
On Wednesday night CNN and The New York Times reported that President Trump was mulling firing Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.
The New York Times reported that President Trump has been frustrated with Pam Bondi’s leadership at the DOJ.

If - at any point in his entire career - Carlson seemed "genuine" to anyone, it's because they desperately wanted to believe whatever happened to be spilling from his lips at that particular minute (it always changed a minute later).
This is the real problem - the Left has monolithic control of political and media institutions, and the Right is a completely unserved market. So they will believe literally *anyone* who says a few things they like at some point - even if he's a charlatan who's as transparent as a glass of pilsner.

Al Gore says none of the climate predictions were wrong, so let’s revisit the one where Florida disappears.
During one of his book tours about 15 years ago, he used to go to book shows and college campuses and do his speech, then he'd run like a scalded cat when it came time for the traditional Q and A session. The "moderator" would practically lick his testicles while explaining to the audience that Gore couldn't stay to answer questions because he had a vitally important meeting that he had to fly out immediately to attend. Same schtick on multiple talks all shown on CSPAN that year.

Candace Owens needs to be in a straight jacket and hauled off to a psych unit. For a change of meds or introduction of meds or electroshock therapy. Something. Her eyes scare me. In real life I'd flee from her at a grocery store.
I did my part yesterday and fought anti-Semitism on another blog. The raking woman has come back after her retreat from me, and now posting nature or dog photos. The other guy has not said much since yesterday when I defended Israel and Bibi.
My husband, when I tell him about this, thinks I am also nuts but basically harmless. I mean, no one else says squat to these Owens and Tucker wannabes comments so I do. Politely and with facts.

No, in his run, he won me over by proving to be one of the best commentors on national live media. I could really give a shit if you don't hold that opinion.
This is just a simplistic shame on you different from my suss, given we're standing in the aftermath of Carlson's decline.
Your observation does not match mine. He was very good at his job.
I really don't understand why people don't think people can decline or go off the rails. Why do you want to take more burden on just to say "See, I was right!"?
I really don't know what to make of Tucker now. But in the lead up to the 2024 election, Tucker toured stadiums and sold-out shows promoting Trump's presidency. I can't say objectively how much that did for Trump

The Morning Rant
If you were in New York City on Saturday during the third edition of the No Kings movement, you would have seen a smorgasbord of far-left groups aiming to sow the seeds of revolution in America. You would have seen numerous flags adorned with the hammer and sickle. You would have been surrounded by collectivist swag and literature for sale, including copies of The Communist Manifesto. You would have seen banners with socialist slogans celebrating depraved monsters like Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. Worst of all, you would have been inundated with chants like, “there is only one solution — communist revolution.” The No Kings movement is a sham. Far from a grassroots movement, it is a highly coordinated, well-funded network of far-left groups that seek to replace America’s founding principles.
And the left's useful idiots -- the blue-haired cat ladies, the septuagenarian hipsters with gray ponytails reliving their counter-culture youth, the ignorant 20-somethings who believe everything they hear, as long as it is in a reel shorter than 30 seconds -- they obediently rush out onto the street carrying preprinted signs, chant slogans from 3x5 cards, get their protest checks from the organizers, and rush home to tell their friends how powerful they are! It is a fight that conservatives find difficult to enter, precisely because we are not worker bees being directed by others. But enter it we must! Luckily we have the truth and 2,500 years of evidence on our side.

I'm betting only 20% of them are full fledged communists. They're paid to make it look like they're a bigger portion, but just look at how many of the same people were found at multiple rallies over the weekend.
They're loud and obnoxious, but would be put down quickly were an actual revolution to occur.
They shouldn't be ignored, however. RINO's and weak meat Congresspeople are EASILY swayed by these jokers because they're loud and obnoxious. Can't look bad on social media or the left wing news, you know.

The immediate answer to most of the tactical weaknesses the right has is that the left has a whole movement to do them.
This includes NGOs, government employee groups, and media outlets
I don't think the issue is really that we are too independent. I think the primary issue is that the left sees this as a priority and FUNDS it. Yes, mostly with stolen taxpayers dollars.
But why is there always some leftwing schmuck available to do whatever the left wants? Because they are paying for it.
Why do we often find there is no one to fight for right wing causes? Because we expect working people with families to do it in their free time.

Sure, there are some true believers, and some useful idiots, but the core seems to be rent-a-mobbers. These types tend to be mentally-ill and prone to agitation already, but it takes cold hard cash to get them off the semen-stained couches in their parents' basements.
It's no coincidence that the attendance at these events fell off drastically as soon as Trump cut off USAID and other funding.

One of the failings of our culture is that we tend to think other people are very much like ourselves. It can lead to trusting people that you should never trust.
Tribal cultures don't have that failing, but it's a much worse outcome overall.
Which is why we should be stamping out the tribal mindset that the left encourages and glorifies. It's the natural state of man, so it will be a difficult fight.

I don't think this analysis is quite right. Conservatives love being part of a collective....military organizations, sports teams, etc. And they aren't all gunning to climb the ranks and be the leader: on the contrary, some a happy to fill a subordinate role well and help the team succeed.
The issue, at least as far as visible activism goes, is conservatives strive for self sufficience, and don't have time to protest and agitate publicly unless things are REALLY bad. Leftist are often underemployed, nepo-babies, or old Boomers with plenty of free time and little purpose or fulfillment in life. They're easy prey to radicalized and motivate. Many are failures in life, and Leftism let's them blame some external force, and gives them a worth purpose in "fighting" it.

Biden had Americans imprisoned for Jan 6th with no trial and no convictions. Biden locked you in your home, forced you to get a brutal, deadly, untested vaccine and removed military personnel who didn't take said vaccine or just wanted to live life as normal as possible. Biden and Owebama jailed investigative journalists who spoke out against the totalitarian regimes.
But Trump is bad because he's done none of those things, secured the border, deported murderous thugs, removed men from women's sports and improved the economy by leaps and bounds.
No Kings protesters should be smashed in the face with a skillet.

On a similar note, if you look at the insane things they claim are true they'll tell you they are well verified and many, many reputable news sources back them up.

Leftists are like Muslims in that they don't want freedom or individual thought. Freedom and individuality comes with responsibilities and accountability. Commies and Muslims don't want that. They'd rather be told what to do.
Give a leftist a slogan or sign, and they will chant the slogan and carry the sign. Without question. Some of them don't even know what the slogan means and don't care ("from the river to the sea ...."). Just chanting the NPC slogan is enough.
Sure, some of these people think communism is a way to seize power for themselves. But even then, the way to get power is to rigidly and mindlessly conform to a pre-planned ideology that permits no deviation.
Even the highest ranking members in USSR and Red China had to be very careful not to deviate from dogma even a little, or else they'd risk being executed.

...they don't even know where the right gathers to talk politics
There's the big difference. They are incapable of talking about anything except politics, so we must do nothing but talk about politics, too. No matter what the subject, sooner or later they turn it over to politics.
When she was three years old, our gDaughter had verbally expressed the idea of not wanting to receive a shot and, wouldn't you know it, the asshat son of one of my wife's friends opined, "She must be a Trump supporter." No, you fucking dolt, she's three and she didn't like getting shots. That was it; nothing else.

What does Ace call it -- a "Limited Hangout?"
Leaks to the NYT primarily come from the CIA and other Deep State Traitors:
"According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is 'spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further'."

Over a quarter BILLION federal dollars surged to the district meant to address learning loss, but it had basically NO IMPACT
"This person received the no-show contract, and this person was a close friend of an assistant superintendent of Newark Public Schools."
Funds have flown to a "literary consultant," partly using federal dollars, yet 1 year later, "THE WORK NEVER BEGAN"
"Money is being blown on things that have little to nothing to do with student outcomes, academic improvement and student support! This is the TIP OF THE ICEBERG."

No, no... the fact that the DOJ was the most corrupted federal agency is irrelevant. The fact that the DOJ has to interact most closely with the corrupt judiciary is irrelevant. The fact that a good number of Assistant US Attorneys haven't been confirmed by the Senate is irrelevant.
Bondi is the sole problem. She, and she alone, is the only reason that anything bad happens in the world. Whoever replaces her will be super-duper awesome and have none of those issues. They be able to ignore the law like Garland did and the judges will be unable to stand before their power.

Disagree.
It's very simple for me:
Conservatives are Americans who love America (and "Progressives" hate America as a projection of self-hatred).
The vast majority of Americans love America and are heritage conservatives.
The only reason the country APPEARS to be half-communist is at least six decades of election theft, capture of the institutions (primarily academia and media), and the mass importation of likely 50 million illegal aliens and their anchor babies.

Very simplistic in nature; leave your _ whatever, whomever to seek inner peace & follow the values of Greater Good. 😬 (Primarily audiences of well educated, well-heeled gov. employees & educators voting quite liberal to keep the lessers from their paths. They continue.)
"For the greater good." Unitarism. Often No Kings Day creators and followers.
The concept primarily originates from 18th and 19th-century utilitarian philosophy, notably developed by Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) and John Stuart Mill, who aimed to maximize happiness for the greatest number of people. It has roots in earlier political thought, including Plato’s ideal state and Aquinas’s "common good," often used to justify acting for the benefit of society.
Take a gander at those ^ two in detail.
Unitarism & socialism intersect mainly through historical movements aiming for social harmony and worker welfare.
(Gifford Pinchot (1865–1946), an ally of Teddy Roosevelt, influenced by the concept of greater good, was the first Chief of the US Forest Service & two time PA Governor.)

But the blue hairs are dying off. The succeeding generations are more pragmatic and less interested in changing the world as opposed to trying to live their own lives - accept for college educated single women - who are working their ways toward total uselessness - and for whom society increasingly is trying to find a way to lock them in a closet somewhere.

Well then. As of early 2026, over 230,000 to 270,000 Ukrainians are in the United States under a form of temporary legal protection known as humanitarian parole. Since Trump has also been generous and has allowed the program to continue, I say let's shutdown. Especially considering that Uniting for Ukrainian allows federal benefits like SNAP and Medicaid.
And then, hopefully pursue Ukraine for all of its corruption and p*ssing through our $ and weapons.
Happy now at the President's performance?

Couple lives in a home that looks like a castle in California discovered to have 21 children, 17 children under the age of 3.
The couple is Chinese and 6 kids had been placed into other homes by the couple.
Clearly running a child trafficking operation

I suspect the Chinese nanny abused one of the kids so bad it was finally noticed by outsiders, and the police got involved. And then the can of worms started opening about the surrogacy sham the three of them are running.

Jesus and his twelve apostles shared (the Last Supper)
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples
He instituted the Eucharist
He predicted that Judas would betray him.
Judas left the meal to arrange the betrayal
Jesus gave his Farewell Discourse (John 13–17), including the new commandment to love one another.
After the meal, they sang a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives
In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed intensely (“Let this cup pass from me”
, while the apostles slept. He was then arrested by soldiers led by Judas.Posted by: Tonypete at April 02, 2026 09:51 AM (cYBz/)

Masterful painting of Christ's nighttime arrest.
Notice how Judas is "haloed" by the dark. His mouth which delivered his traitor's kiss is subsumed by it.
And even when surrounded by darkness and betrayal Christ's face is the most brightly lit.

A Lower Bound on the Number of Fundamental Constants
William Luke Matthewson
Comments: 4 pages, 1 figure, Submitted for 1st April
Subjects: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
We describe here, for the first time, a lower bound on the total number of fundamental constants required for a mathematical description of our physical universe to be complete. The answer is shown to be one. The formal arithmetized meta-mathematical proof of this is left to the reader.

Jesus and his twelve apostles shared (the Last Supper)
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples
He instituted the Eucharist
He predicted that Judas would betray him.
Judas left the meal to arrange the betrayal
Jesus gave his Farewell Discourse (John 13–17), including the new commandment to love one another.
After the meal, they sang a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives
In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed intensely (“Let this cup pass from me”, while the apostles slept. He was then arrested by soldiers led by Judas.

After Judas Iscariot saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and tried to return the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. Declaring he had "sinned by betraying innocent blood," he threw the money into the temple sanctuary before leaving to hang himself.
The chief priests refused the money, stating it was "blood money" and not lawful to put into the temple treasury.
The priests used the returned coins to buy a potter's field as a burial place for strangers, which became known as the "Field of Blood".

The most famous one was one where you could be married by an Elvis Impersonator.
I also found it hilarious that Reno, NV held the title of "Divorce Capital of the World" for more than six decades, primarily due to its exceptionally lenient divorce laws which allowed "residents" to establish residency in just six weeks starting in 1931.

After Judas Iscariot saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and tried to return the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. Declaring he had "sinned by betraying innocent blood," he threw the money into the temple sanctuary before leaving to hang himself.
The chief priests refused the money, stating it was "blood money" and not lawful to put into the temple treasury.
The priests used the returned coins to buy a potter's field as a burial place for strangers, which became known as the "Field of Blood".

Nice!
Congratulations and all that!
When I got a mention of "WTC" on Insty it really produced a bump in sales (in between the time of the mention and when some a-hole at Amazon shadow-banned positive reviews on "Wearing the Cat") Grrr.
Anyway, that kind of exposure is priceless.

Randy Rhoads was taking classical guitar training while on tour with Ozzy. He grab the phonebook and call local music stores asking if anyone taught classical guitar, and then show up to learn. Most times the teacher ended up being starry-eyed and would learn more from Randy than was taught, but Randy's mind was set on learning.

Kurt Vonnegut opined that what ticked off Judas about Jesus was Mary having anointed Jesus' feet with perfume and Judas protested that the money wasted on the perfume ought ro have gone to the poor. In a more modern vernacular, Vonnegut had Jesus chiding Judas by saying, "Don't worry, Judas, there'll still be plenty of poor people around after I'm gone."

Jesus and his twelve apostles shared (the Last Supper)
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples
He instituted the Eucharist
He predicted that Judas would betray him.
Judas left the meal to arrange the betrayal
Jesus gave his Farewell Discourse (John 13–17), including the new commandment to love one another.
After the meal, they sang a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives
In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed intensely (“Let this cup pass from me”, while the apostles slept. He was then arrested by soldiers led by Judas.

The Morning Report — 4/2/26
President Donald Trump praised the United States military Wednesday night during a speech updating the American people on the conflict with Iran, but he offered no new details on the operations. Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign by the United States and Israel, commenced on Feb. 28 after attempts to negotiate a cessation of Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons failed. During the speech, Trump said that the “core strategic objectives” of the military operations were almost achieved\(RELATED: Trump Halts All Strikes On Iran Power Plants Amid Negotiations) “As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury, our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically dismantling the regime’s ability to threaten America or project power outside of their borders,” Trump said. “That means eliminating Iran’s navy, which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their air force and their missile program at levels never seen before, and annihilating their defense industrial base. We’ve done all of it. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone. Their missiles are just about used up or beaten.” “Taken together, these actions will… crush their ability to support terrorist proxies and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb,” Trump said. “Our armed forces have been extraordinary. There’s never been anything like it militarily. Everyone is talking about it. And tonight, I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.” Trump also paid tribute to the 13 Americans killed during the military operation. As of Wednesday evening, seven American military personnel had died from hostile action in Operation Epic Fury, with six others perishing in the crash of an Air Force KC-135R tanker. Trump also blamed Iranian attacks on shipping in the region for high gas prices, saying their actions proved the necessity of the military operation. “Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict,” Trump said. “This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons. They will use them, and they will use them quickly. It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain, and instability worse than we can ever imagine.” Trump also warned Iran’s current leadership to accept the terms he laid out, saying that if they did not, the United States would target Iran’s energy infrastructure. “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously,” Trump said. “We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding, but we could hit it and it would be gone, and there’s not a thing they could do about it.”In the run-up to the speech, there was some speculation that the President was going to declare victory and then cease operations. Considering the President has deployed a third carrier to the theatre and is demanding the Iranian's adhere to a ceasefire, and they've responded by flipping a Farsi firebird in his direction, I'm not so sure that Peace is at hand, as old Henry Kissinger used to say about Vietnam.
The other huge story was the President's truly historic visit to the SCOTUS during testimony about the abomination of the utter bastardization of the 14th amendment he has attempted to end via executive order. Yes Kentanji Brown-25 Jackson is an imbecile but a very dangerous imbecile because of her anti-American racialist fueled leftism. Worse is the wishy washy two-faced Amy Coney Island whitefish Barrett.
The progressives’ threat that “millions” of people could lose citizenship amid legal chaos seems intended to give swing-voting judges an excuse to kill Trump’s order that bars citizenship to illegal migrants. The prospect of chaos was raised by a swing-voting judge. “It could be messy,” said Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative who has voted with progressives.When even the Wiseass wide-ass Latina sounds logical by comparison, maybe it's a good sign we might witness a miracle that birthright citizenship will at long last be tossed.

- Iran’s military threatened on Thursday to launch crushing and destructive attacks on the US after President Trump declared Operation Epic Fury an “overwhelming” victory in an address to the nation.
Iran threatens ‘destructive’ attacks on US after Trump declares war an ‘overwhelming victory’
- Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning, writing, “Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!” Trump said, however, that the U.S. will consider a ceasefire after the Hormuz Strait is “open, free, and clear.”

- The Chinese government has struggled to maintain relevance in the context of the conflict, which began on February 28 with President Donald Trump announcing Operation Epic Fury and the elimination of Iranian dictator Ali Khamenei. A close ally of Iran’s, which prompted China to facilitate its membership into the anti-American BRICS coalition, Beijing has vacillated between condemning the United States for engaging Iran militarily and gently suggesting that Iran’s disruptions of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which disproportionately hurt China, should cease. . .

Migration Advocates Threaten ‘Millions’ May Lose Status if Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order to Stand (Please God!!!- jjs)
- . . .if the justices harbor any consideration of keeping the 14th Amendment migration train running by upholding the current bastardization of the amendment, it will signal to the American people the illegitimacy of even the highest legal authority in the land, ostensibly with a 6-3 conservative majority. A SCOTUS decision to uphold birthright citizenship as currently applied
would communicate that it means to follow in the footsteps of successive presidential administrations and Congresses, selling Americans’ jobs, land, and promises of freedom to the highest bidder, or simply giving them away to foreigners who cross the border illegally.

IN 2016 Trump ran on investigating and if tried and found guilty imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her myriad, real crimes.
The FNM and GOPe told us investigating a lead opposition political was the mark of a banana Republican EVEN IF the crimes were real and well documented.
Then after installing Biden they immediately started investigated Trump for a series of questionable and at times outright fake crimes.

Arguably on of our current problems is that prior generations of American politicians assumed that following generations could read and understand flowery verbiage.
Now I suspect the current scumbags would be disputing plain text as well, but it would make things better had they explicitly written in simple English what they meant.

Someone in Iran still has their finger on the proverbial button. Until these numbers drop off to zero, we're going to be engaged offensively. There are several open source sites on the web and accounts on X that track this. It has been trending down, suggesting Iran's exhausting their massive supply of weapons and unable to replace them. At least not quickly.

Within hours of launching four astronauts on NASA's Artemis 2 mission around the moon, its crew reported a glitch in what may have been the most anticipated new creature comfort of their Orion spacecraft: their space toilet.
"The toilet fan is reported to be jammed," NASA spokesperson Gary Jordan said during live mission commentary. "Now the ground teams are coming up with instructions on how to get into the fan and clear that area to revive the toilet for the mission."
Norm Knight, NASA's director of flight operations, told reporters here at the Kennedy Space Center that the malfunction was due to a controller issue on the toilet. But NASA confirmed astronauts could still use the space commode to poop, just not urinate, though engineers were working to restore it to full service.

When people say the media doesn't have power, this is the anti-proof.
They've so saturated the coverage on this, so overwhelmed all discourse, that pretty much everyone, even conservatives are in a gloom the issue is lost.
This is not the court that created gay marriage--this is the one that overturned Roe.
This is not the court that denied TX v. PA--this is the court that overturned Chevron.
Look at all the recent rulings: None of those point to a court afraid to make major rulings, even against decades and decades of "it's always been this way."
To grant cert, there had to be 4 votes.
4 who say the current reading is wrong (or needs clarified).
(Unless you want to assume one of the 3 liberals wanted to risk the Court hearing the case?)
4 votes in favor of something less than now; unlimited automatic citizenship.
3 in favor of keeping it the same.
1 who will rule it must change but the EO is wrong.
1 who will rule it it must change but not retroactive.

Even NASA seems embarrassed by the name some lame committee chose, because they never used it any before launch. Sad.

So I'm wondering, if a Russian couple has a child in Houston and then wants to return with the child back to Russia, whether Texas can say, hold up, you can't take a vulnerable US citizen back to a 'hostile' Russia. Parents sue Texas and win in US Supreme court (maybe even getting Russian consulate involved) and remove the newly minted US citizen back to Russia. Was the child ever 'subject to the jurisdiction' of Texas?

He votes to spite Democrats bc he like Trump is fueled by bribes and hatred. We need to stack the courts and make these maga traitors irrelevant.
The argument that things are different today so we can ignore the Constitution would not be a good precedent to set for preserving the 2nd Amendment.
Alito may vote against trump on this one. At one point, Alito was stating a position favorable to the ACLU's case. The ACLU atty misunderstood and pushed back until Justice Barret chimed in to clarify what Alito was saying. Then, the ACLU atty relented and agreed that the Alito statement was correct.
I’ve said this before on this forum and I will say it again: I know people who know Alito from church. Every single one of them says he is and always has been a pompous asshole. I repeat: these are people who know him from CHURCH.

About a month later, her body was found by hikers on the side of a highway in American Fork Canyon. Aime was bound, beaten and without clothing. Authorities said the evidence indicated that she had likely been kept alive for several days after her abduction.

Both side agree those here lawfully and not specifically excluded are citizens.
All the questions, and all the moaning of doom from the right, focus on why there were so many questions on generally, "should grant citizenship to all these--other--broad categories?" which has the implied "who are here legally but not a specifically excluded category?"
See, sometimes, it's the questions that get the least debate before the judge that decides the case:
No one actually argued illegals should be citizens; it was all focused on those who have some sort of legal status to be here.
It was all on other categories not specifically addressed by the 14th:
A says, we draw the line at lawful residents.
B says, we draw the line at merely being here. (Pretending it doesn't mean illegals as well.)
But all the questions were: "how do we determine how someone is lawfully here, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof?"

They only wear the diapers when they can't use the toilet. When suited-up in pressure suits for launch and entry, and during long space operations that require full attention of all the crew.
This because the diapers are heavier and require more of the precious storage volume than the back-up plastic bags.

I don't think it does, honestly.
I spent more on daycare than I spent on my mortgage, and it wasn't particularly close. I got a $37,000 functional raise when they were in school instead of daycare.
I don't live in DC and didn't go to Montessori or anything like that.

From above, 'Ketanji Brown Jackson Needs To Be Impeached.'
For the October Term 2025 (2025–2026), Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's law clerks include Cal Barnett-Mayotte (Penn), Jenny Choi (Yale), Maia Cole (NYU), and Gabrielle Dohmen (Chicago). These clerks assist in reviewing cases, legal research, and drafting opinions for the 2025–2026 term.
AI Overview references cite 'Original Jurisdiction' by David Lat & the Univ. of Chicago Law School Post. (There may be changes; do the research.)
Note: David Lat writes legal industry news & appears on Substack. His 'Supreme Court Clerk Hiring Watch: Meet The October Term 2025 SCOTUS Clerks' was very insightful, explaining Gender, Feeder Schools, Feeder Judges, and even the process Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has applicants for her clerkships follow.
As Lat indicated in one of his articles, there have been changes in what law schools were heavily represented in the past v. current time on the Court.
>U of Chicago News, Oct. 2025 'Seven UChicago Law alumni clerking for Supreme Court justices'
The alumni serve seven justices at the nation’s highest court.

"After retiring from the court, a justice may continue to employ a law clerk, who may be assigned to provide additional assistance to an active justice or may assist the retired justice when sitting by designation with a lower court."
🤷♀️ Hadn't known prior to now that a retired Supreme Court Justices may maintain chambers, a staffer, and a law clerk at the Court. (Under tradition, retired justices are authorized one law clerk, who is often shared with or "loaned" to active justices to assist with the Court's workload.)
As of 2026, this was reported to apply for Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer, who retired in 2022, as he works on lower federal court cases and/or legal writings. (Note: Retired justices do not vote on Supreme Court cases.)
The point is to pay attention to the selection of their law clerks with their stellar educations, work experiences and prior employment. They function as key advisors, screening thousands of certiorari petitions and conducting extensive research to support the Justice's workload and decision-making.

To be honest, I have no idea how Naturalization is being enforced & approved in this nation, or at least in my specific state (commonwealth) and region.
>See US Citzenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) dot gov: I am a Lawful Permanent Resident of 5 Years
General naturalization requires being 18+ years old, a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for 5 years, passing English/civics tests, and showing good moral character.
I look around and think it didn't, and doesn't, work like that here but O and Joe & company - huge influences - were, and continue to be, the worst.

- Anthropic has filed DMCA takedown requests against - so far - more than eight thousand online copies of their leaked Claude Code source code. (Yahoo)
Paging King Canute and Barbra Streisand. Would King Canute and Barbra Streisand please come to the discourtesy phone.
Tech News
- AI can clone open source software in minutes - and that's a problem. (TechSpot)
Open source software is protected by copyright law, and that depends on the exact expression of the code. It's easy for an AI to make sufficient changes to dodge copyright law while keeping functionality intact.
Or mostly intact. In my experience even performing straightforward changes like that you still end up with some breakage.
And of course this was possible before AI as well; it just took a little more effort.
- ONLYOFFICE has suspended its partnership with Nextcloud after the latter forked its product to create Euro-Office, targeting weenies. (Neowin)
Or you can just do that, I guess.
- Cloudflare has announced EmDash, a "spiritual successor" to WordPress created following Matt Mullenweg's spiral into insanity. (Phoronix)
Or that too. More work than just stealing stuff outright though.
- Sweden has moved away from computers in the classroom and back to books and paper following a long term decline in student test results. (Ars Technica)
Sounds good as long as I don't have to write term papers longhand.
- Artemis II is off on its way almost to the moon. (NASA)
Missed it by that much.
- SpaceX has filed for an IPO. targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion. (Reuters)
Which... Is still a lot.

Let a thousand lawsuits bloom.
- DRAM prices are expected to jump 63% in Q2, and NAND flash for SSDs by 75%. (Tom's Hardware)
Panic buying before the worst of the price increases hit looks like it was a good move. I have enough memory and storage to keep going for years.
- On the other hand, if you're in the market for a new mid-range graphics card, look out for discounted 16GB XFX Radeon 9060 XTs. I bought one early this year as part of my panic attack, and they have very much bucked the trend by cutting the price by 20% since then.
That's in Australia but the price here would be equivalent to $310, against an MSRP of $350.
Not a high-end card but fast and capable and not overly power-hungry.
- Guess what also costs around $310? The 16GB Raspberry Pi. (Jeff Geerling)
I was thinking of buying one - actually the Pi 500+, which is the model built in to a mechanical keyboard - but passed on it because at the time only the keyboard itself was available and not the bundled desktop kit with a matching mouse and cables and power supply.
That model is the worst affected, but even the 4GB Pi 5 has increased in price by 75%.
- Microsoft says you can avoid viruses in messages by never reading your messages. (The Register)
This is true.
- Nova Lake HX - the laptop range for Intel's next generation - will come with up to 28 cores. (WCCFTech)
That's only a minor change, though. Existing Intel laptop chips have up to 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. Nova Lake HX adds four low-power cores to that.
Also, as with the current Panther Lake family, there will models with the advanced integrated graphics (branded as B390), but then you get half as many CPU cores. You can't have both.

I was in a class where it was required to write papers by hand. I typed about a bazillion words a minute, and for pay, and I asked to be able to type my papers. I was told no; because when people typed and made typos, they blamed the typos on the typing and on the typewriter. And I said: how about if I take responsibility for any typos. And I was given an exception! This was An Important Life Lesson.

Justice DEI wanted to prove that it's no big deal if millions of Fake American Citizens actually owe their primary allegiance to a hostile foreign country, so she embarrassed herself again.
She claimed that if you're in Japan and subject to Japan's laws, that means you "locally owe your allegiance" to Japan so what does it matter if we have 10 million Chinese anchor babies planted here by the CCP?
We all owe our allegiance to some other country sometimes, baby.

On the downside, the 2006 Volvo V70 replacement turbo appears to have developed a good size shaft oil seal leak into the airside housing.
And a need for a replacement for the replacement passenger side axle.
Both repairs would be under warranty but replacing the turbo is a royal pain.
Would rather replace Kwikset locks.

- Medical technology has advanced enough to do this, complete with full joining up of all the nerves.
- The operation is a success.
- The patient goes horribly and utterly mad not because of post-op infection or tissue rejection, but because while they're in a clone of their own body, and their mind had already adjusted to the older version, and it unexpectedly refuses to make the necessary adjustments to a younger version.
(Extra bonus points if the patient is named Frank.)

The province of Ontario in Canada passed a law to go to permanent DST back in 2020, but it's conditional upon Quebec and NY State doing the same. This leads to situations where everyone is waiting on everyone else to "go first", and nobody does. Here we are, six years later, and we're still doing the time change dance twice a year.

Now, it may be they are using AI’s trained only on images. But a lot of this has to do with Bayesian priors and weighting, The things don’t think. It’s a statistical likelihood and I’d be very careful in using any ai as anything but a guide.

She was a *beautiful* woman who lead a troubled life.

Artemis is doing their "proximity operations" test now, playing around with pretend docking and station keeping with the ICPS (upper stage). This is testing maneuvering the Orion spacecraft for docking operations. Apollo 8 did similar play docking with the S-IVB (third stage) after TLI.
Orion is now in that high elliptical orbit, apogee raise complete and is coasting. That has spent the ICPS stage. On the next perigee loop around, in about a day, they will deorbit it to burn over the South Pacific. Orion will then do the TLI boost to get it to the Moon.

Unlike many Morons & 'ettes I love Steve Perry's voice, still good after all these years. Yes, I know, rather bubblegum or something when he was part of Journey, however, some great music for this dancin' queen.
Paul Newman's eyes. Oh, boy. Only met another pair of blue eyes like that and even more spectacular with thick black eyelashes. Possibly the most beautiful man/boy I ever met. A year before I met my green eyed bf/husband. There are not many Paul Newman eyes in this world, but I met a guy who had it all til he died a few short months later, age 24yrs. Rare cancer. Gone.No choice but to go on and work hard in nursing school, which he knew was my goal.
Need to watch that movie tonight, and I thank you for the reminder.
Another pair of beautiful eyes is Leann Womack's. I'm told mine are not so bad, even in my fossilized state of age. Green.
President Trump gave a great speech tonight.Respectful. Subdued. Tired. But not tired of winning. May God be with him and give him strength. Please pray for him and his cabinet as they make the world safer.

The music industry has always been a Hunter S. Thompson world (most of you will get the quote).
I would like to encourage the 'Rons who aren't familiar with Robert Plants FIRST solo album to find it and give it a listen. Its titled "Pictures at Eleven".
Plant stepped out first after John Bonham's death ended Led Zeppelin. He put together a masterful album...it had his ringing voice and reminded listeners that he was the voice of Zeppelin. But the album wasn't a blatant attempt to rip off Led Zeppelin.
Musically, it included the previously undiscovered Robbie Blunt on guitars. More than half the tracks had Phil Collins on drums, even though Genesis was at the height of their popularity--that was the power that Robert Plant had. The remaining tracks had Cozy Powell on drums, whose resume included long stints with Rainbow, Whitesnake, and Emerson Lake and Powell (the successor to Emerson Lake and Palmer).
Here's a haunting track off Robert Plant's first solo album. It sounds both "like Zeppelin", and yet...individual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doj08c62

I'm deflated about the new video evidence that might exist that proves Bigfoot was a hoax. Film was finally processed that shows possible Bigfoot costume tests before the famous hoax footage was shot. Even though Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti is probably 100% fake, it's such a cool urban legend, I kind of want it to remain a mystery forever.

There's some people that just have no mechanical intuition about how to "find the right combination". A toilet handle may be a bit tricky. We've got one like that in the house. Now, all you have to do is hold it down a half second longer, but there's one relation I won't mention who can't do that. So, the flapper partially opens, then slams back shut, letting not enough slug of water go through. It's just enough to flood and start the trap flush, but no enough to push a wad through. And said wad sticks, and it's plunger or snake time.
Guy has no clue about what's happening. Me, I notice stuff like that immediately, and compensate.

And had another relation who would force thing. Say a door latch wasn't exactly right, binding a little bit. Rather than jiggling things around and finding the right combination, he'll just force it, breaking things eventually.
There's some people that just do that, force things, no sense of how much force is too much, and they tear shit up all the time.

This guy tore up the window handle in and old farm truck years ago. The handle would bind a little, and you just had to sort of wiggle and jiggle it, and it would work fine. But no, he had to force it, and just broke the handle.

I confess to enjoy watching restoration videos.
I get annoyed with the dramatic delays in videos where a stone has been cut in two and the a-hole who made the cut dawdles and shows the wetted surface of the formerly whole stone for a minute of so before opening up the two halves to reveal what was inside.
I get extremely aggravated by the turning videos where some materials are glued together, that whole assembly is immersed in a settable plastic, and then the a-hole takes forever and a day to turn the piece on a lathe only to discover that he made ... a wastebasket. Into which he ought to be shown piling the mountain of shavings he created during the process.

Im looking forward to getting the tube out of my dick next week. The pathology report confirmed the doc's belief that he got all the cancer (plus a little extra around the edges to be sure).

I start immunotherapy the week after that. The prognosis is good so far.

...to earn the title of twatwaffle, one must also attempt to assert authority/expertise where none is had, or use power/authority when they are offended by things that most people find humorous, and then use that authority to get the "offenders," in trouble and the "offending material" removed.
A twatwaffle is Karen-adjacent, in other words.

OKay, I had to find out why the hell they have to heat the piss. It's to prevent the discharge nozzle on the outside from freezing up. When the pressure goes to zero, it rapidly evaporates, freezes, then sublimates. Ice crystals forming in the nozzle and tube would clog it.
This close to the sun, it's all going to sublimate completely and very soon. Now, way out in the outer solar system, where insolation is much less, some ice would likely remain. This is why it's safe to dump urine (and water based stuff). It becomes vapor soon enough and doesn't leave any ice behind.
Million to one odds, but they don't won't to worry about leaving something in orbit they could slam into on the way back. Apollo was worried about this too. This is why they don't dump solids out.

Apollo was big on low residue, low fiber diets for that reason. But no matter, there's going to be some, and that was a big problem with the plastic bags they had to use.
Now, another advantage of low fiber is less gas. Apparently, and I just learned this, gas can get quite uncomfortable in low ambient pressure. Apollo was just 5 psi of pure O2 in space. Spacesuit pressure with the moon walks was even less, 3.75 psi.

I went through there almost 40 years ago. Son's Bantam team was playing in a tournament in Port Alberni. One of my cow-orkers needed to get his deceased grandmother's jewelry to.his sister who lived in Powell River. I probably committed some sort of smuggling offence, but I carried the stuff into CA. I would have loved to return down the mainland coast on the two ferries it would have taken, but my budget wouldn't allow it -towing a trailer. Just walked on the ferry at Comax, off the ferry at Powell River hand her the packege, back on the ferry and back to Comax.

Artemis is now ~34K miles from earth, well above circular geosynchronous radius.
I can't find a ground tack projection online (but I see one on the board at MC, but can't make it out). Anyway, the current orbital period is around 23.5 hours, so it's almost geosynchronous, but the highly elliptical nature means it's sometimes slower than earth's rotation, and sometimes faster, but averages out over the period. This makes for some interesting ground tracks, figure 8's that get wide.

I finally got to see the ground track, and it's quite complex, as I figured. Right now, it's a long loop, currently moving east to west. That's because it's moving slower than earth's rotation underneath. But then at gets closer to perigee, it will start moving west to east again. It will slide west just over Australia, then move north east over NA again. TLI will happen somewhere then, and when it gets close to the Moon, it's moving with the Moon, east to west.
The track looks crazy at first, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

That's the idea. Do some big check outs and testing while in orbit. When they do the apogee raise, they get in a very high elliptical orbit with about a 1 day period. TLI to the Moon will be after that.
Idea is to check everything out before they even attempt the TLI.

My late older brother made the mylar canister that carried the flag to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission. He took the left over scrap material - cut it up and gave a piece of it to each of his siblings. It is my proudest possession: its like having a piece of material that Columbus' sail was made from.
That Mylar canister can be seen lying on the surface of the moon in some of the photos that Armstrong took. I like the idea that there is some litter from my family on the moon.

Orion is running N2/O2 mix, 70/30, IIRC. Pressure will vary from about 1 atm to 10 psi. Very different from Apollo.
They've got to worry about pre-breathing for suit ups and all that, and the whole was designed around that.

Submarines aren't designed for optimal strength/weight as much. Every increase in strength for whatever purpose requires mass. Mass is bad and projects will actually put a dollar amount on mass and contractors will have $$$ fines placed on them on each pound overages of target design masses for their component.

That's at least a day away. This is very different trajectory than Apollo. They're first using the ICPS to go to a high elliptical orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
That will expend all the ICPS fuel. The Orion SM will have to do the final TLI burn to raise that to the Moon.
Apollo TLI had a lot more wiggle room. This manuever is tightly constrained.

The Apollo solid waste system consisted of a plastic bag you taped to your ass. And remember this is zero-g, no gravity to help pull things loose. They had to use their hands to help. And then they had to put some anti-bacterial stuff in there, and knead it all in good.

And those men gladly stepped up. I remember that famous quote from Alan Shepard, America's first man in space, when the ground crew delayed the launch for hours; his patients ran out and the lit a fire under the crew: "Why don't you fix your little problem and light this candle?"

It did happen. It was Alan Shepard and the very first American space flight.
I cannot recommend "The Right Stuff" often enough or highly enough -- it is a personal favorite film of mine. It cuts through the hero worship to show how human and down to earth the X-15 pilots and Mercury astronauts were.

theres a lot of pieces here that all point to asserting American hegemony over the global oil trade that will prop up the american dollar as nations panic and buy energy from the US, as well as give china and eurotrash the middle finger
Im fine with that, do that and disband NATO, then tell russia end the war or we end it for you
Id rather we be isolationist but that would mean having our thumb up our asses while china et al try to take over the world

He's the most famous athlete in the world but I agree that other countries suppress the 'press' much more than we do. But also hundreds of celebrities have done rehab here without any press.
Admittedly I'm biased because I'm not a Tiger fan from the very start of his career.

I don't think he was short of breath, just a different tone for him. Respectful in his message vs his normal self that we see. Respectful of the 13 men and women warriors who died and their families.
Every night, prayers for him, VP Vance, their family and friends, and cabinet. For a wall of protection and good health.
That any plan against them fail. I have prayed this since he was shot, and certainly since Novembe 2024. He's a man on a mission and he's winning. He needs our prayers, and I thank God for him.

She claimed that if you're in Japan and subject to Japan's laws, that means you "locally owe your allegiance" to Japan so what does it matter if we have 10 million Chinese anchor babies planted here by the CCP? We all owe our allegiance to some other country sometimes, baby.

Andrew Branca Show
@TheBrancaShow 1/6 Something remarkable just happened on X -- and almost nobody in legacy media noticed. A tweet about Japanese BBQ went viral in the US. What came next was completely unexpected. 🧵
2/6 X quietly launched automatic Japanese-to-English translation on posts. The result? American and Japanese users started reading each other -- many for the first time. And they immediately discovered something: they like the same things.
Andrew Branca Show 3/6 It started with meat.
Thanks to @Zakn.
Japanese users were posting about wagyu, yakiniku, and grilling culture. Americans responded with their own BBQ passion. The two audiences went absolutely wild for each other. A shared love of quality meat kicked off an international friendship movement in real time. 4/6 But it didn't stop at meat. As the conversation deepened, both groups realized the connection ran much further. Shared pride in their cultures. Shared values around family, work, and national identity. A shared worldview that the globalist left has spent decades trying to erase. 16h
5/6 This is what happens when the language barrier falls and ordinary people actually talk to each other -- without journalists, NGOs, or government officials in the way. Japanese and Americans aren't supposed to like each other this much. The globalists need them divided.

ICPS is firing, seems good. This is the perigee raise maneuver that gets in actual LEO, raising perigee out of the atmosphere.
They'll dick around a bit there, then do a big apogee raise burn, putting Orion in a very high elliptical earth orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
They'll then check systems out for a day, then the SM will do the final TLI push to the Moon.

Note that the SLS-Orion is no Apollo-Saturn V. SLS/Orion does not have the delta-v fuel margin to put Orion in low lunar orbit and get back out.
This is why it's just a free-return flyby. The ICPS doesn't have the energy, and the final TLI has to be done by Orion itself.
Why you ask? Read up on the history of the boondoggle known as SLS.

Zimmerman is saying the real test will be with the life support system. SpaceX hasn't designed anything like this (the Dragon is just a shuttle to LEO).
Zimmerman is least hopeful for the return. The heat shields failed in 2022. NASA's response was "yolo" to that. The new trajectory is supposed to put less pressure on the shields.

When Philippines was cut lose from being a Territory they had a deadline to get ass into what would in the future be the US proper by a deadline or they would lose citizenship.

They aren't technically in orbit now, in a more ballistic missile like sub-orbital trajector. The orbit is about 15 x 1300 miles. The upcoming ICPS perigee raise burn will raise that to 100 x 1300 miles. Then they'll be in orbit.
Note this is quite elliptical, unlike Apollo's circular parking orbits.

The third stage had two burns. First one to complete parking orbit, and then TLI, which did the spacecraft fully on the way to the Moon.
The Apollo SM had to do the lunar orbit insertion burn (and return to earth burn), but the 3rd stage did all the TLI burn.

I'd think a cargo mass drive would have a limited ability to move its target and fire in all directions.
I have read an SF story, though, where a work team on the moon tells the AI computer controlling things the position of a ridge blocking the projected path of a new mass driver. The response came back - completion time, 40 minutes.
They park for lunch and are nearly killed when the kinda smart AI fires ore from a mass driver at the ridge, blowing apart the obstacle and nearly killing them. It seemed like a good idea to the AI!

They aren't technically in orbit now, in a more ballistic missile like sub-orbital trajector. The orbit is about 15 x 1300 miles. The upcoming ICPS perigee raise burn will raise that to 100 x 1300 miles. Then they'll be in orbit.
Note this is quite elliptical, unlike Apollo's circular parking orbits.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at April 01, 2026 07:13 PM (w6EFb)
I beg to differ. Orion is in an Earth orbit. Problem is, the perigee is below ground. CRUNCH!

The third stage had two burns. First one to complete parking orbit, and then TLI, which did the spacecraft fully on the way to the Moon.
The Apollo SM had to do the lunar orbit insertion burn (and return to earth burn), but the 3rd stage did all the TLI burn.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought these typical orbit number, n x m, were not geocentric, but relative to the surface. So, a 15 x 1300 mile orbits means a low point of 15 miles about the mean surface and apogee of 1300.
It has to be because earth's radius is about 4000 miles. If those numbers were geocentric, the whole thing would be unground. :-)

A) deny automatic citizenship for all noncitizens born in the US, after January 1, 2024.
B) grant automatic citizenship for all noncitizens born in the US forever.
Those are the only actual options before the Court.
See, as others noted, the ACLU option is the most extreme.
And they don't grant any lesser option--all citizens forever, no exceptions, no restrictions.
OTOH, Trump is saying, the accepted interpretation has no legal basis. But, we're not going to punish those already here. We only want to start enforcing the law as written.
So, you can say Roberts and ACB are spineless weasels--and they are--but there is a reasonable option and an extreme option before them.
Now go back and look at their questioning in that light.

This happened with the Apollo mission several times. Iw was listening to some of the accelerated mission audio for Apollo 8, 9, 10, 11 a while back.
They would lose the ground link some time during the hand over to another ground station (in low earth orbit, a given ground station can't see the spacecraft for but a small window).
This sounds exactly like that. They're still getting other data, just lost the link to the astronauts.

The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command’s secretive NT-43A has been spotted in Florida, taking part in the preparations for the launch of NASA’s long-delayed Artemis II lunar space mission. This highly unique and notoriously shy plane, a converted militarized Boeing 737-200 variant (T-43) also commonly known by the callsign RAT55, has long been used as an airborne signature measurement platform to support work related to stealthy military aircraft. However, during a high-stakes space launch, its two huge radar arrays, modular electro-optical and infrared sensors, and other capabilities would likely be well-suited to gathering telemetry and other valuable data.

Kansas is a bit rolling for most of it. East Colorado and Nebraska are more purely flat.
Posted by: Oldcat
Other than Bonneville, the Red River (of the North) Valley is probably the flattest place in the USA. Northeast ND, Northwest MN.
There's a little notch where the river runs, then its flat for miles and miles. Not level; it gains about 1 foot of elevation for every mile you get away from the river. But the only "hills" are the ones that we built for highway overpasses.
Fire up Google Maps and drop the Street View guy anywhere north-ish of Fargo. Spin in a circle. Try to find any topology anywhere. It ain't there.

I hear they're talking about "seeing more motion on the SAW" than expected, so they're recycling the "brake on the SAW". Whatever the hell that means.

West Nebraska is on a tilt for about half the state. Coming back there was a blizzard that shut down the highway for a day or so so we were stuck near Salt Lake. As we went into Nebraska they had plowed the highway first then plowed the overpasses down onto the highway so there was a ridge of snow and ice the trucks had bulldozed mostly clear. It was bumper to bumper at night with trucks going about 40 no stopping. Our truck blew a tire and we just had to run on the one tire of the pair for hours before we could find a hotel and service station.

We retired the 1000's about a week after the landing and I helped install the new VR-1100's The VR-1100's were solid-state monochrome machines'. The VR-1200's were solid-state color machines. We also had 15 RCA TR -3 playback machines as well as one TR-4 in the record room. No school. I was awarded my MOS, 26T20, after Basic in Fort Dix. I was drafted in Sept '67 and had previous experience in TV and electronics. Surprised me that the Army actually read my history! Especially being a draftee.

Go/no-go was Go. Clock hasn't started yet. T-10 is terminal count. Automated system takes over when the start.
They can stop it if they have to, but it's harder to restart, they have to cycle back to T - 10M, I think, and can only do that so many times.

He did this every 10 or 15 minutes, and then would go back to the jobs he was working on - cabinet installation, the boiler, etc.
Finally I asked him what the hell he was doing -- he said " I got the first female / black / gay / canadian crew outside installing sod."
I imagine there is another channel not made public today with some Mission Commander saying "Remember guys, don't touch anything."

We have some data on long-term low-gravity impact on humanity, but need a lot more before attempting a colony. Honestly I think a high orbit station for testing ideas, then going to mine the asteroid belt makes a lot more sense than a lunar base. Saying its so far away doesn't really matter, distance becomes kind of relative at a certain point.

Geostationary orbit might have too much crap there now.
A middle orbit would require more fuel to hoist everything up each launch. The ideal would be to work to having the moon to earth orbit craft stay up there to avoid the huge cost of lifting them up each trip.

When Starship comes fully online, costs to orbit will drop to $100/kg. You can then do anything you want - mars, the moon, a space station, asteroids, whatever. Everything becomes possible. A single launch of starship carries half the weight of the entire ISS as cargo. It will be equal to 21 shuttle slights, at a fraction of the cost.

Space Shuttle launch max-gee was limited to 3.(I forget) gees. So the structures of the Orbiter and of the payloads it carried could be lighter (lower mass, in proper space-geek).

Correction, they are not "in orbit" yet. I was looking at the trajectory profile. THe ICPS (second stage) won't fire for a while yet. Right now the "orbit" is highly elliptical with a perigee well inside the earth's atmosphere. If the ICPS fails to fire, they would take then back for near immediate reentry.
ICPS first firing will be a while.

I was in the army at the time, Signal Corp. I recorded the landing and the first walk on the moon on 2" video tape on an Ampex VR-1000 video tape recorder at the TV Division at Fort Gordon, GA. Any TV broadcast old guys will remember those Ampex machines. Yeah, I'm over 29.

I was in the Air Force a few years after that, and we had VR-1200s. The VR-1200 was all solid state, I think the VR-1000 and VR-1100 had tubes. Did you go to school at Fort Monmouth?

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at April 01, 2026 06:49 PM (Fg7bI)
A mass driver is throwing rock. In theory an electromagnet cannon could shoot packages off the moon and they could be collected in orbit and again, reduce the cost of getting materials up into orbit for use in space.
"The High Frontier" was an interesting book in the 80s by O'Neal about setting up habitats in the earth/moon system.

Theoretically, Space Force (previously done by USAF) can track objects down to about the size of a softball. The Shuttle Orbiter and the ISS are able to do debris avoidance maneuvers if the probability of collision is (a number I forget) or larger and there is sufficient time. The Russians never worried about orbital debris. They used what is called the Big Sky Theory. Based on their take that space is big and debris is very, very, sparse. A cold-blooded approach, but Soviets.

In Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress the loonies used theirs to bombard Earth.
At an early stage one of the characters (no spoiler here) gives a figure for the explosive equivalent of hitting the Earth with a big rock launched by a mass driver.
"Well, that's a lot less than the nukes the earthworms will be using on us".
"Yes, but we have a LOT of rocks."

Some of that's Trump hate.
A lot of that is the notion that the 'special' people were off limits in war. A king might be captured and subject to some humiliation, but unless there was some bad blood involved, he'd be sworn to serve the victor rather than killed outright. There are exceptions (see most of the Old Testament, as God doesn't seem concerned with status).
What Trump and Israel have shown is that unspoken rule no longer applies. If anyone causes enough trouble to justify war, we'll start by killing the decision makers who caused the problem. And it would seem that targets like the ayatollahs are less command and control than those who give ideological support for the enemy's cause.
In the event of US Civil War 2.0 that is likely to include the entire 'expert' class. And they are just smart enough to have figured that out.

I was 6yrs old when I found out the South lost the Civil War. So this is similar mentality.
We were on a trip to DC, in the back of my parents Cadillac. [This was almost Civil War times, Morons and 'ettes, or the early'60's] The AC had two plastic things on each end of the back window.
Bro and I had our Rebel and Yankee plastic warriors and I was, of course, a Rebel. I'd say, "Start the war!" and we'd fight and I'd win.
My father spoke up while driving and informed me the South lost. Really? I was crushed and my brother was thrilled. It took a while to accept this crushing defeat but I eventually did.
It did not help that in Gatlinburg, TN we were drafted into the Confederate Army and rode a train. My brother got a grey uniform and wore it everywhere when we got home.
I was too young to be bothered by him, as his main problem was being carsick on every trip, which was gross.

Bombing cannot win a war. But it does shape the battlespace for success for the ground forces. Whether those ground forces are military troops, or locals set to finally overthrow the last of the regime remains to be seen.

No specific named pinball machine is identified in the 1988 film The Accused, where Jodie Foster plays Sarah Tobias, who is gang-raped on a generic pinball machine in a bar's game room.
The scene uses a standard pinball machine (with artwork on the headboard/backglass showing a scantily clad woman in a basketball hoop theme), but it has no branded title or model name mentioned in the movie, credits, or production details. The prop was chosen to replace an original script idea of a pool table for legal reasons.
The film is a dramatization inspired by a real 1983 case but altered for the story

The only anecdote that comes close that I remember is during the Civil Wars when an army from Pontus declared against Caesar and he detached a few legions, marched to Zela in Asia Minor with a forced march and caught the unprepared army and routed it. He reported home to Rome the famous "Veni, Vidi, Vici" - I came, I saw, I conquered.

IF they approached the speed of light, time would have "slowed down" on earth, I think. Or sped up for the travelers ... relativity and all that stuff. But getting to that speed requires more and more power, infinite power to actually reach the speed of life (as I recall the theory). But SciFi has to ignore much of real science I suppose.

Regardless, it’s all built on a lie. Iran doesn’t have the power to close a toilet seat, the Strait was never ‘closed’ in any real sense, and judging from maritime traffic reports the Strait is not almost totally back to normal.

ITs a reenactment of a court case in which a trashy woman went to a bar, got drunk as hell then acted like she wanted every man there to chain her like an Only Fans girl then got upset when they took her up on the offer.
This is not to defend the men: she said "no" and that's when you lay off and leave her alone. They raped her and no matter how she was behaving, you don't do that. But she acted like the rake she stomped on was unthinkable when it hit her face.
Pro Tip: don't act like that, girls. Bad men will take you seriously.

Bombing cannot win a war. But it does shape the battlespace for success for the ground forces. Whether those ground forces are military troops, or locals set to finally overthrow the last of the regime remains to be seen. At some point, somebody somewhere needs to walk into what remains of the IRGC HQs and say, "We are now in charge."

It took about a year of protests and ...other stuff for Carter, France and the rest of the idiots to remove the Shah. Israel estimated 2-3 years for "regime change". I think this was after the original 12 day War. I've seen the reports from people inside Iran, Basiji/IRGC checkpoints abandoned and manned by rag tag motly crews of overweight arabs and youths from who know where. Not regulars. So, the bombing and decapitations is just the beginning. May not take a year.

Short term gas price hikes, and 401K ups and downs, along with an uphill election year will eventually force an end to it.

Reconciliation means only a majority vote needed in the Senate but precludes due to the Byrd rule, adding on other non budgetary items like most of the SAVE act.
House is shaky on the majority but the special election for Marjorie Traitor Greene's seat is April 7th and the GOP is favored to win that one last time I checked. Dems are likely to gain a seat in NJ that was Jackie Sherrill's (D) seat. Then the other two vacancies don't matter much as LaMalfa (R) seat won't be filled until August.
217 Republicans, 1 Independent that caucuses with the GOP, and 214 Democrats. 3 vacancies with one Dem and one GOP seat likely to added by mid April. And one possible expulsion of a Dem for Ethics depending on the Dems as it takes 2/3rds to expel.

Having never seen the movie, I looked it up. According to Brave AI, "the machine had a headboard depicting a scantily clad woman half-plopped in a basketball hoop," which "does not correspond to a known, commercially released pinball machine." Further, "It is widely believed that the machine used in the film was a custom-built prop created specifically for the production. This was likely done to achieve the specific visual required for the scene and to avoid any potential legal issues associated with using a real machine, especially given the film's sensitive subject matter and its basis on a real-life incident (which originally involved a pool table)."

That's my one concern, too. You probably can't get the fanatics to surrender. By the end of the day, someone has to kill all of them. And while there are rumors that Israel's been working on the 'security forces' it seems to me like we've been mostly bombing launchers and supplies. I have no idea if it's true, but I saw somewhere recently that Iran has ~4 or 5k KIA, which doesn't seem like much given the size of the country (the breakdown on IRGC specifically was something like 20%, which doesn't seem like enough if we're serious about giving the currently unarmed Iranians the opportunity to overthrow them).

History never stands still. Nations that were once great decline, nations that were never great rise, and you have religion, culture, wealth, resources, and linguistic cleavages that make a one world government a fantasy only fools would consider possible.
As mentioned above, NATO existed to repel Soviet invasion of Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact was Soviet response to build in defensive space and to enable resource stripping of its bloc. Neither are relevant today except NATO is still around.
After NATO, the US went on a spree with all sorts of new treaties like SEATO (SE Asia Treaty Organization), ANZUS (at least until New Zealand decided our nuclear ships were declasse), CENTO aka Baghdad Pact centered on the Middle East anchored by Turkey. That world is dead.

If they are not replaced by Pahlavi or some currently non-existent civilian alternative, do you think the IRGC will give up its support of terrorism in the region and against the US?
Do you think China will not help rebuild Iran, in exchange for tons of absurdly cheap oil?
Do you think Eurocrats will not help in exchange for less cheap oil?
Do you think Democrats will not help in exchange for votes, election interference, and virtue signaling points?
In such a scenario, how has the war, which began in 1979, been "won"?
There will merely be a delay of 10, maybe 20, years during which the IRGC rebuilds and rearms, and then it starts all over again.

True enough but the US had the GWOT on Terror which in some ways damaged our national defense outlook and strategies just as much as Vietnam did.
Which is sad because Schwartzkopf's book makes it clear that his entire view of the military and war was shaped around the mistakes of Vietnam.

Of one of two of the batteries for that system was showing out of range temperature, highly out of range. They are confident it's a sensor problem. They aren't 100% sure, but they think that's what it is. Temperature is just too crazy to be real. So, they're going ahead. It's a risk but they are confident.

-- doubtful. Most are dead, everyone else has their head down.
If they are not replaced by Pahlavi or some currently non-existent civilian alternative, do you think the IRGC will give up its support of terrorism in the region and against the US?
If we quit sending them billions to support terror, they will have trouble getting money.
Do you think China will not help rebuild Iran, in exchange for tons of absurdly cheap oil?
They only have cheap oil for sale because of our sanctions. And they won't have a free hand, any more than the current Venezuelan government does.
Do you think Eurocrats will not help in exchange for less cheap oil?
They have no money or means to rebuild anything either.

Very possible. Likely a groyper and/or mASSIE fan.
And ignoring the elephant in the room which is enough enriched uranium to make 10-11 nuclear weapons--first one in about a week if the enough centrifuges still exist somewhere. Those plus missiles and like horseshoes, you only have to get close with a nuke for a nightmare scenario.
Whether the mullahs regime dies is up to the Iranian people but we simply cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. Their attack everyone around them including allies like Oman and Qatar indicates a basic derangement in their war strategy made into nightmare fuel with nukes.

Any PLA troops that reach Taiwan will be either corpses or trying to surrender.
There is no way China can pull off a landing over rougher seas and multiple times farther than the English Channel in the face of Taiwan and Japan. The Japs have just moved long-range anti-ship missiles and SAMs to cover Taiwan.
Their sub fleet will chew the Chicoms up as well.

There was at least one big tribe on the move that was stomped so hard it went back to where it started and has remained there ever since. The Helvetii. Never heard of them? Today they are called the Swiss. In 58 BC, Caesar stopped them from 'migrating' from what is now Switzerland to their objective of what is now SE France.

Project Hail Mary Is #Based?
I saw it Tuesday night. I realized that was the last night to see it on a premium screen, because Super Mario Bros. would take al the premium screens Wednesday.
I'll review it below. (In short: It's good, worth seeing in the theaters.) The movie isn't political, but the creators are pitching it low-key as a conservative-friendly movie. First of all, the writer of the novel the movie is based on, Andy Weir, actually went on Critical Drinker for almost an hour. The Critical Drinker is hated and persona non grata with progressives, so when Weir decided he would ignore the #Deplatforming order on Critical Drinker, he was making a statement. Not only did he #Platform Critical Drinker, but he trashed Fake Star Trek in much the same way as a conservative pop culture critic would."I forgot who it was--I wish I could remember who it was who said it, some analyst--he said something like, 'All modern science fiction TV shows and movies have been heavily influenced by the original Star Trek--except for the current batch of Star Trek shows,'" Weir noted. "I'm Gen X, so my sci-fi was like original series Star Trek reruns and Lost in Space reruns. And there wasn't really much in the way of [new] sci-fi that was airing--where people are off in space doing cool things--until we got to [The Next Generation]." After discussing the fate of Starfleet Academy and Jordan suggesting that Paramount should simply decanonize all modern Star Trek, Weir offered something of a rebuttal while also revealing that he had attempted to pitch a Trek series of his own. "You're a little more severe than I am--I'll give you my opinion, and I'm just a consumer. I like Strange New Worlds. I think it's pretty good. I didn't hate Enterprise. I thought it was kind of weird. Lower Decks, I thought, was entertaining and fun. All the others, they can go," Weir said. "And here's another thing: I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount, and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to [executive producer Alex Kurtzman]," the writer continued. "I don't like a lot of the new Trek. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy. But they didn't accept my pitch, so, you know, fuck 'em."He was forced to apologize for this -- conservatives also shouldn't court controversy or alienate potential ticket-buyers when they're promoting their movies, either -- but we all heard it. The Truth Is Out There now. In another soft pitch to conservatives, star Ryan Gosling introduced the movie at a screening, he declared, "It's not [fans'] job to keep theaters open, it's our job to make things that make it worth coming out." That may seem obvious, but it's only conservative cultural critics who've been saying it. The left thinks we should show up for their Gay Illegal Alien Antifa Movies just to show our support for favored minorities. Former Amazon executive Tom Price -- who greenlighted this movie -- writes in the NYT that maybe Hollywood should learn a lesson from Project Hail Mary's success and make movies which are -- get this -- broadly entertaining rather than filled with divisive and yet childlike political propaganda.
'Project Hail Mary' Is Fun. Maybe That's All It Takes.I actually wrote that he rejected divisive political messaging before I read the actual article. But he said it! I was only thinking he'd softly imply it.
By Roy Price
Mr. Price is the chief executive of International Art Machine, an entertainment studio, and was previously the head of Amazon Studios.
"Project Hail Mary" opened last weekend to more than $80 million at the domestic box office, the biggest opening for a nonfranchise, nonsequel film since "Oppenheimer" in 2023. For all the fretting about the decline of movie theaters, people apparently know where their local theater is just as long as they're given films they want to go and see. It's also the first major theatrical success for Amazon MGM Studios, which formed in 2023. (Despite my former association with Amazon, I don't enjoy any benefit from the film's success.) It's not just a one-off hit, either -- the domestic box office in general in 2026 is up a robust 20 percent from the year before, driven by hits like the mid-December releases "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "The Housemaid," along with the year's "Scream 7," "Wuthering Heights" and others. A possible reason for this rebound? Movies are starting to feel fun again. Eras change. Vibes, as they say, shift. In 1969, the low-budget counterculture road movie "Easy Rider" was the fourth-biggest box office hit -- edged out for third place by the low-budget, X-rated "Midnight Cowboy." By contrast, "Paint Your Wagon," a big-budget, star-driven musical, tanked. That was the end of an era: Musicals were essentially over and the cinematic 1970s had begun, one year early. We've had other eras since -- the blockbusters of the 1980s, the Sundance generation of the 1990s. But the most recent era, which started in the wake of Donald Trump's election in 2016 and went into overdrive after 2020, was one in which political and social messaging were what seemed to matter most in Hollywood.
It can't be a coincidence that Ryan Gosling is echoing this line, minus the overt criticism of progressive propaganda. This feels like a coordinated message. In Price's case, he has nothing to gain from Project Hail Mary's success. I guess he had no points in the project. But many in Hollywood have recognized that the industry is now in a state of dire existential crisis and they need to get their heads out of their stinky asses ASAP or the whole rotten house is going to collapse. His interest here is about the general viability of the so-called "entertainment" industry.
Sex, erotic thrillers and humor were on the outs. Romantic comedies essentially disappeared. From 2012 to 2016, roughly 67 comedy films with budgets over $5 million were released a year on average. From 2017 to 2023 (excluding the Covid year of 2020), that average dropped by a third, to some 45 comedies a year. It was an era when you could make "Nomadland" -- a best picture Oscar winner in 2021 -- but championing the ribaldry of a film like "Bridesmaids" seemed suddenly out of the question. The Dionysian elements of popular entertainment -- irreverence, sexual frankness and broad, even scatological humor -- were cast aside as the industry sought to correct historic wrongs and resist current ones. An unmistakable censoriousness and fear of saying or doing the wrong thing seemed to settle over the creative process. Cultural and political considerations played an outsize role -- not only in what movies got made, but in how success for these movies was defined. What didn't seem to matter as much? Making sure that audiences were filling seats.
There was an old rule that actual movie stars observed: "One for the studio, one for me." In other words, one broadly entertaining movie likely to make a good amount of money, and then one more personal and "arty" project which probably wouldn't make money but would boost the star's prestige. For ten years, Hollywood's rule has been "one for me, and another one for me, and oh how about another one for me, and this one for me, and this one for me." Yes, they made Marvel and other superhero movies during this period, but those were among the only broadly-entertaining movies they made -- everything else was overt, mentally-impaired hardcore woke propaganda. And then, of course, even the stupid superhero movies started pushing braindead woke propaganda as well, and people stopped seeing those. The "star" of the upcoming Supergirl movie just decided to alienate the mostly-male audience for superhero movies and announce that she is a pre-emptive victim (TM) of internet bullying. You see, Basement Internet Babies cannot stand the thought of a Stronk Female playing... Supergirl.
Some might object that comedy in particular waned in that era because the genre, in the words of the industry, "doesn't travel," meaning it lacks international appeal. But the international appeal of comedy didn't suddenly change in 2017. Hollywood's tastes did. That era might finally be ending. Hollywood loves box-office data, and the recent data suggests that there are two paths forward for the industry. One path is the prestige message films that dominated the most recent Oscars, exemplified by this year's best picture winner, "One Battle After Another" (although that movie, with its chase scenes and stoner jokes, had a crowd-pleasing element). The other path is represented by eight-cylinder entertainment like "Project Hail Mary" and "The Housemaid" -- as well as pulpy films like "Weapons" and "Sinners" (which had its political notions, but you could enjoy it for the music and vampires). If this new era of fun has a figurehead, it's the actress Sydney Sweeney, who almost single-handedly revived the romantic comedy with "Anyone but You" and the erotic thriller with "The Housemaid," two genres that 10 years ago had been cinematically left for dead.
Hollywood was built on entertainment. A big part of what makes entertaining movies work is that they engage audiences in a way that feels contemporary but would be completely recognizable to Billy Wilder or Frank Capra. These films spring from the belief that movies matter in and of themselves -- and not just as a means to influence society. The question is not whether Hollywood should make serious or socially conscious films -- it should, and it will. But the success of "Project Hail Mary" and other recent films reminds us that in our new era, whatever it will be called, people appear to be responding to fun.
...and the audience just left the building. Gotta get your stars to stop talking like this. https://t.co/EH4lGxVVz5

They've had a little glitch with Artemis II, just as I was expecting. It's a range issue with the flight termination system communications or some crap. This is the self-destruct system that blows up the rocket if it goes out of control.
In the you-can't-make-it-up category, they've sent some guy out to the VAB to look for an old piece of Shuttle hardware they are referring to as "heritage hardware" they think might help fix things.
As it is, range safety is no-go until this FTS problem is fixed.

See, it's ok to have a "message" in a movie (even if I disagree with it, because I can, you know, disagree with it). But the message has to be subordinate to making the movie. Entertain the audience, and if you can also make them think, that's a bonus.
But there's a word for media that puts political messaging ahead of the art: propaganda.

I went because I saw reviews that it was one of the few "family" movies being made. Not a kids movie, but one every age could actually enjoy watching.
I'd give it a B+, worth seeing, but maybe a little over praised. No real politics that I could discern.

We ARE better, but not immune to that. Sometimes the guys at the Daily Wire (especially Klavan), and sometimes Morrissey talking to Toto are close to saying we HAVE to go to conservative made movies. Mark Judge does too. And note, in general I like all those. But there are just too many new books and movies I am not interested in.

And of course it is a shame that Milly is a toxic airhead.
Part of the romance of the movies is falling in love just a little bit with the women as you put yourself in that universe, and that is not possible when you couldn't even stand to be in the same room with them. These people build their careers around being more attractive than average, and then they run their mouths and ruin it.

Sorry to be a tiresome pedant, but childlike implies the sweeter, innocent nature of children, while childish is negative. If I'm reading this correctly, childish is the fitting word here.
Childlike and childish both relate to children but have opposite connotations: childlike is positive, highlighting innocence, wonder, and sincerity, while childish is negative, denoting immature, petulant, or irrational behavior. Childlike refers to admired traits, whereas childish describes unwanted behaviors like tantrums or self-centeredness.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.

K2-18b is a *possible*, possible, "hycean" planet. Could also be a super earth or mini-Neptune.
Hycean means hydrogen atmosphere but with a water ocean. These could support life.
This would be critters, bacteria and so forth, not likely big flora and fauna. But who the hell knows. Our sample of life in the universe consists of 1 data point.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).
That only leaves a maximum of 4 years to implement the solution, assuming our best scientists even understand it.

The movie I'm particularly interesting seeing is " A Great Awakening" about he 18th century evangelist George Whitfield and his friendship with Benjamin Franklin. Whitfield was a powerful preacher and Franklin was not an orthodox believer. He was interested in using his paper to promote Whitfield however. " Sight and Sound" does biblically based shows in the PA Dutch region and also has put out movies of their show:

I'm not sure about that. It was a worldwide coalition so, since whites make up less than 10% of the worldwide population, they were over-represented on the team - as expected since they are among the high tech countries. I can only think of three women on the team, offhand, the head lady, the lady astronaut, and the one who fucked up a measurement and caused an issue.

If you can read beyond the newspaper articles and click-bait web sites, astronomers are pretty honest about how much uncertainty is in these data.
It is real, in the sense that they are doing real analysis (of, for example, the spectrum of a planet’s atmosphere, the mass of the planet, its approximate size, and thus an approximate density) with real and useful results, but there are many possible interpretations of those results.
Sky & Telescope appears to be a pretty good reporter on this things.

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took, or if the ship was moving at anything close to the speed of light, or what. They did show a character who remained on earth appearing maybe 10-15 years older, but it seems like she should have been much older.
The fuel they use is derived from the astrophages themselves so maybe there's some implied Magic Science going on here.

Not to ruffle too many feathers, but the whole western superhero tradition is sort of lame and gay. "Oh look at me and how tall my high horse is, I'm gonna go defeat all the villians but make sure to capture them all alive and leave them tied up in front of the precinct house".
It's a type of conflict for sheltered first worlders with no experience with real fighting and tends to be alarmingly self-centered from the hero/reader-insert standpoint.
The good stuff never loses sight of that and uses it as a source of plot tension, but if you aren't careful it's a short skip and a hop from Batman to the total ethical shitshow of Dr. Who.

Computer calculations are making it possible to make absolutely gigantic optical telescopes by, rather than building gigantic telescopes that would be subject to collapse, but by building lots of smaller telescopes and treating them as a single lens.
Besides gravity, another of the limitations on ground-based astronomy has been turbulence in the atmosphere, which makes resolutions beyond a certain point useless. But it is now possible to measure that turbulence in real-time and so apply corrections in order to attain greater clarity on the ground.

For things that they can do spectral analysis on, the certainty that these are planets is very high. There have been enough observations across different types of measurements with enough predictability of what future measurements will show, that the alternative explanations have to get weirder and weirder to explain them as something other than a planet.

I gotta admit...I don't even arrive at the theater until marquee time. The big chains have 15 minutes of "pre-show content" at a minimum. AMC does 20.
The little places will do about 10. Arrive at marquee time, park, get tix, get popcorn, go to the bathroom...get there just in time to get spoiled for an upcoming movie.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).
That only leaves a maximum of 4 years to implement the solution, assuming our best scientists even understand it.

That's not exactly the problem in the movie. The world will lose half it's population in 30 years due to starvation caused by the dimming sun and all the wars that will be fought in those 30 years over food because of course the countries of the world will lie cheat and steal to survive. All of the stars in our immediate vicinity except Tau Ceti are experiencing the dimming. Don't want to spoil how they were able to accelerate the ship fast enough to make the mission viable, it's a major plot point and possibly a plot hole. Also a bit ironic.

The funniest part - Starfleet Academy doesn't suck because it is woke, it sucks because it is poorly acted, directed, scripted, etc. They have an alien the barfs glitter. A gay Klingon. A female Jem hadar. A hologram that acts like it is six years old. A Vulcan bully. A guy in a wheelchair. They use modern slang and curses.
The wokeness isn't the problem as much as the utter lack of original thinking, stories, characters, AND a complete inability to stick with the canon. If you want to have someone be a bully, Klingon works better. If you want to have someone in a wheelchair, make it a fish alien with no legs. Want someone to be gay? Make it the Vulcan - they always seemed a bit gay. You can do what want, just don't find the lamest possible way to do it. or the "subversive" way.
Star trek was always about adult people dealing with adult situations. Or, at worst, adult people dealing with absurd and childish situations. It was never about children dealing with childish situations. In other words:
"Shut Up Wesely!"

The Nancy Grace Roman telescope will be able to direct image some of the larger (gas giant) exoplanets in the near neighborhood. That will pretty much confirm, yep, these are planets.
And to be really technical the current official IAU definition of "planet" applies only to our solar system. But we know what we mean by planet, whether here or around another star.

I have not watched it but the clips and reviews I saw, it looks like some of the plots were kind of interesting. Most of the first few shows had decent ideas. But the execution looks absolutely awful and the characters a strange combination of forgettable and repelling. And the last two episodes are incomprehensibly bad plotting.

Could be sunspots, but then it wouldn't have to obey the rules of gravity governing the speed and distance of an orbit. Matter in orbit that isn't essentially a planet would have the dip have a more gradual edge than is usually seen.
Another method that can be used is to look at shifts in the spectral lines as the star wobbles due to the planet tugging on it.

Pretty much yeah. Passed the time helped calm the cattle. It didn't matter how great you were, it was better than sitting around in silence.
One of my favorite singing bits in a TV show was Justified, season 2. The evil murderous mom of a clan of hill folk did a great job (like pretty much everyone else) and there's a scene where the family is having a picnic/barbecue. They all start singing and get mom to sing along. She's a terrible singer but nobody cared because it was about the family and the song and being together, not about perfection. They loved mom, they loved singing, they loved the family, who cares if she's not an opera singer.
We need more of that. Everyone is terrified to sing in public now, or anywhere, because they all feel like they have to be professional quality. Singing used to be everywhere, we sang as part of life. Now we delegate it all to professionals.

She is super strong for a reason in universe so yeah she can beat up most other characters in the DC universe and it isn't comical like watching Scarlet Johansen muff flip 250lb operators.
And she's always been feminine and tough in the classic sense - the Injustice story line does this I think very well.
But I suspect we'll get another stupid grrrrlllll boss movie that just makes the character into another Captain (Karen) Marvel

The expression goes back at least to the 1930s, when it was used publicly by Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley, two former members of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Four Horsemen. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a Hail Mary pass gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass, typically of the "alley-oop" variety, attempted at the end of a half when a team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play, implying that it would take a miracle for the play to succeed. For more than 40 years, use of the term was largely confined to Notre Dame and other Catholic universities.

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took"
IF they approached the speed of light, time would have "slowed down" on earth, I think. Or sped up for the travelers ... relativity and all that stuff. But getting to that speed requires more and more power, infinite power to actually reach the speed of life (as I recall the theory). But SciFi has to ignore much of real science I suppose.

IF they used leads that were good looking, I'd go.

There are now about 6000 "confirmed exoplanets" and I was looking at just what criteria "confirms" it.
It takes multiple observations with at least two different techniques, like radial velocity and transit methods.
The probability these are not "planets" as we think of them orbiting their host star is very low. It looks, quacks, and swims like a duck.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.
My wife made me watch this with her. It was a mid vampire movie. For me, any movie where you can k*ll the vampires rather than f*ck them, is a net positive. I thought it was..ok. Honestly Dusk til Dawn was way better and I f**king hate Jerg Clooners and I still watch it every time it's on.
When i heard it got an Oscar nomination, i blurted out...it's a f**king vampire movie. Why??

I haven't watched football since Tom Landry got fired by that cryptkeeper looking l*sbian f**ker Jerry Jones..and you guys are talking about Doug Flutie and Joe Montana??
Roger F*cking Stauback to Drew Pearson in 1975. For f**ks sake. I was five when I saw that f*cking game and I never forgot the Hail Mary.
Doug F*cking Flutie. Your mancard is revoked.

The threads holding up the suspension of disbelief were broken as a result of knowing too much chemistry. The story stepped over the line from science fiction into non-scientific fantasy.

The comment about most of the science being simple definitely has me hoping they save the earth with a science fair baking soda volcano though.

A very standard Catholic prayer begins with these words: Hail Mary, full of grace ...
Coincidence?

I will also say that you get to know the alien a LOT more in the book. And he's actually been at Tau Ceti for 53 years before Grace comes along. They're very long-lived aliens. They communicate and work together as equals, each bringing critical skills to the task at hand. Really. Read or listen to the book.

SPOILERS: I thought the movie would have been so much better if from the book they'd had left in/added that Rocky had been at Tau Ceti for years by himself (46??), that his species had no concept of relativity (Rocky he arrived quicker than he thought and used less astrophage fuel - hence why he could give Grace some fuel to get home) or the electromagnetic forces (and had no computers; that's why gift of laptop was a big deal), had no concept of sight or colors (amazed that humans can 'hear' light), the nitrogen issue with the astrophage predator and why they had nitrogen, more about the Rocky's physiology, and add more examples that show what a smart and capable engineer Rocky was. I don't think all of that would have taken more than 10 minutes of screen time. I also understand why they choose the last scenes on Earth with the video from Grace, but I liked how the book had Grace find out his work had saved the Earth.

The blessed relief of not being preached at was a balm.
A big plus for me: no sound from the spacecraft until they're in atmosphere. How many hundreds of sci-fi films get that wrong?

Weir actually does mention global warming in the book and treats it as legit settled science. There's even a subplot where they nuke Antarctica in order to put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, heat up the planet, and buy humanity a little more time.
I found it interesting that the movie(which I thought was enjoyable, but inferior to the novel) omitted all that. I guess Amazon/MGM really did want to ditch any potential political messaging.
